Find the greatest possible percentage error in finding the volume of the prism.
Answer to Problem 23PPE
28%
Explanation of Solution
Given :
The table shows the measured dimensions of a prism and the minimum and maximum possible dimensions based on the greatest possible error.
Calculation:
Volume formula :
Measured volume =
Minimum volume =
Maximum volume =
Find the differences :
|Minimum volume - Measured volume| =
|Maximum volume - Measured volume| =
The greater difference in volume is 67.125.
So, the greatest possible percentage error =
