Answer:
3.21%
Step-by-step explanation:
The panel is measured to be 16.25 in by 8.13 in.
The actual plan shows that the panel is supposed to have an area of [tex]128$ in^2[/tex].
We are to determine the percentage error in the area of the panel.
[tex]\text{Percentage Error}=\dfrac{\text{Wrong Value-Actual Value}}{\text{Actual Value}} \times 100[/tex]
Wrong Area of the Panel = 16.25 X 8.13 =[tex]132.1125$ in^2[/tex]
Actual Area = [tex]128$ in^2[/tex].
[tex]\text{Percentage Error}=\dfrac{132.1125-128}{128} \times 100\\=\dfrac{4.1125}{128} \times 100\\=3.21\%[/tex]
The percentage error in the area of the panel is 3.21%.
