his/her body

Measure your room and the bed using a measuring tape in meters, use 3 decimal positions

Task
Complete the following information:

What body part did you use?

feet

Fill the table with the information you acquired:

Your body part Relative’s body part Meters

Room’s length 15 feet 12 feet 3.60 meters
Room’s width 13 and a half feet 10 feet 3.65 meters
Room’s height 10 feet 8 feet 2.60 meters
Bed’s length 10 feet 8 feet 2.45 meters

Calculate the percentage error between your body part and your relative's body part, consider
your body part as the exact value:

⮚ To calculate the percentage error the formula is:

| 𝑉 −𝑉 |
ε = | 𝐴𝑉 𝐸 |×100%
| 𝐸 |

Where:

• 𝑉𝐸 is the exact value

 Measuring your room

• 𝑉𝐴 is the approximate value of the measurement

12-15X100%= 11
ε=
