Shelby measured the volume of a cylinder and determined it to be 58.8 cm³. The teacher told her that she
was 4.98% too high in her determination of the volume. What is the actual volume of the cylinder?

Respuesta :

The actual volume of the cylinder is 61.73 cm³

Percentage error is the error introduced in a measurement. The formula for the error is given as :

           Error = Percentage error * measured volume

According to the question we have been given that

                        determined volume of cylinder =  58.8 cm³

                         Percentage error  = 4.98%

thus, error = 4.98% * 58.8

                 = 0.0498 * 58.8

                 = ±2.93 cm³

The formula for the actual volume is given as

 Actual volume = measured volume ± error

                          = 58.8 ± 2.93 cm³

As the error is high we will do addition we get

                         = 58.8 + 2.93 cm³

                         = 61.73 cm³

hence the actual volume is 61.73 cm³
