Answer:
1%
Explanation:
Percent error can be found by dividing the absolute error (difference between measure and actual value) by the actual value, then multiplying by 100.
[tex]Percent Error=\frac{V_{measured}- V_{true} } {V_{true}} *100[/tex]
The measured value is 2.02 meters and the actual value is 2.00 meters.
[tex]V_{measured}=2.02\\\\V_{true}=2.00[/tex]
[tex]Percent Error=\frac{2.02-2.00}{2.00} *100[/tex]
First, evaluate the fraction. Subtract 2.00 from 2.02
[tex]Percent Error=\frac{0.02}{2.00}*100[/tex]
Next, divide 0.02 by 2.00
[tex]PercentError=0.01 *100[/tex]
Finally, multiply 0.01 and 100.
[tex]Percent Error=1\\Percent Error= 1 \%[/tex]
The percent error is 1%.
