Answer:
V = 56.816 cm³
Explanation:
Given that,
The measured value of the cylinder is 54.5 cm³
The percent error in the measurement of the volume is 4.25%
We need to find the actual volume of the cylinder.
Firstly, we can find the error in the calculation as follows :
[tex]E=54.5 \times \dfrac{4.25}{100}=\pm2.316[/tex]
It is mentioned in the problem that, the teacher told her that she was 4.25% too high in her determination of the volume. It would mean that,
Total volume = 54.5 + 2.316 = 56.816 cm³
Hence, the actual volume of the cylinder is 56.816 cm³.
