Let’s check out your problem:

On his math quiz, Anthony used a protractor to measure an angle. He misread the protractor and thought the angle measured 2828 ^\circ. When he double-checked his work before turning it in, he realized the actual measure of the angle was 3232 ^\circ. What is the percent error for his original measurement? If necessary, round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.\newline____%\%

Q. On his math quiz, Anthony used a protractor to measure an angle. He misread the protractor and thought the angle measured 2828 ^\circ. When he double-checked his work before turning it in, he realized the actual measure of the angle was 3232 ^\circ. What is the percent error for his original measurement? If necessary, round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.\newline____%\%
  1. Calculate Difference: Calculate the difference between the measured angle θm\theta_m and the actual angle θa\theta_a.
  2. Calculate Percent Error: Calculate the percent error using the formula: Percent Error = (DifferenceActual Value)×100%(\frac{\text{Difference}}{\text{Actual Value}}) \times 100\%.
