Clare estimates that her brother is 4 feet tall. When they get measured at the doctor’s office, her brother’s actual height is 4 feet, 2 inches. Should Clare's or the doctor's measurement be considered the actual height? Explain your reasoning. What was the error, expressed in inches? What was the error, expressed as a percentage of the actual height?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Percentage of error by Clare is estimated as 4.1667 %.

Step-by-step explanation:

Height measured by Clare = 4 feet

Height measured by Doctor = 4 feet, 2 inches

Percentage error = ?

Percentage error = Difference/ Actual height *100

Percentage error = (2/ (4*12))*100

Percentage error = 4.1667 %

The accurate height is measured by Doctor, as he have more accurate measurement system.

Answer 2
Answer:

Final answer:

The doctor's measurement is the actual height. The error in Clare's estimation is 2 inches or 4% of the total height.

Explanation:

The doctor's measurement should be considered the actual height because it is the factual measurement obtained, while Clare's was an estimate based on her observation.

The error in Clare's estimate, compared to the actual height, is 2 inches. To calculate the error as a percentage, we first convert the actual height to inches (50 inches = 4 feet 2 inches), then divide the error by the actual height and multiply by 100 to get the percentage.

So, the error as a percentage is (2/50)×100 = 4%.

*I personally like to use the pi sign on my calculator to multiply the radius squared by, but my keyboard did not have a pi sign.  Usually, the pi sign is more exact.  If you used the pi sign, your answer would be 153.94 inches^2.  Hope this helps!
