Answer:

Percent error=1.23%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Estimate length of room=20 feet

Actual length of room=20.25 feet

We have to find the percent error.

To find the percent error we will find the difference between the estimate length and actual length of room.

Difference=Actual length of room-Estimate length of room

Difference=20.25-20

Difference=0.25 feet

Now,

Percent error=[tex]\frac{Difference}{actual\;length}\times 100[/tex]

Percent error=[tex]\frac{0.25}{20.25}\times 100[/tex]

Percent error=1.23%
