Answer :

The percent error of the meaurement is 6.21%

Julia meaured a line to be 16. 1 inche long

The actual length of the line i 17. 1 inche

Error in length = actual length - measured length

Error in length = 17.1 - 16.1 = 1 inch

Percent of error is defined as the difference between a measured or experiment value and an accepted or known value, divided by the known value, multiplied by 100

error percent = error/ known value x 100

= 1/16.1 x 100

= 6.21%

Therefore, the percent error of the meaurement is 6.21%
