There was 4.35% error in Diego's measurements.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Length measured by Diego = Approx value = 22 cm

Actual length = Exact value = 23 cm

Percent error = [tex]\frac{|approx-exact|}{exact}*100[/tex]

[tex]Percent\ error = \frac{|22-23|}{23}*100\\\\Percent\ error = \frac{|-1|}{23}*100\\\\Percent\ error = \frac{1}{23}*100\\\\Percent\ error = \frac{100}{23}\\\\Percent\ error = 4.347\%[/tex]

Rounding off to nearest hundredth

Percent error = 4.35%

There was 4.35% error in Diego's measurements.
