The percentage error of the height of the table is: C. 14.67

Recall:

  • Percentage error can be calculated using the formula: (what was measured - the actual measurement) / actual measurement × 100%.

Thus:

The height that was measured = 5.12 feet

Actual measurement of the height = 6 feet

Percentage error = (6 - 5.12) / 6 × 100

Percentage error = 14.67
