To calculate the percent error, we can use the formula:

Percent Error = (|Actual Value - Estimated Value| / Actual Value) * 100

In this case, the actual value is 5.62 cm and the estimated value is 5.5 cm. Plugging these values into the formula:

Percent Error = (|5.62 - 5.5| / 5.62) * 100

Simplifying the calculation:

Percent Error = (0.12 / 5.62) * 100 ≈ 2.14%

So, the percent error of Jocelyn's estimate is approximately 2.14%.
