    Percent error is calculated by the expression:

    %error = |actual value - observed value| / actual value x 100

    We calculate the error of the values as follows:

    a. 23.487 cm

    % error = | 23.490 - 23.487| / 23.490 x 100 = 0.013%

    b. 23.493 cm

    % error = |23.490 - 23.493| / 23.490 x 100 = 0.013%

    c. 23.516 cm

    % error = |23.490 - 23.516| / 23.490 x 100 = 0.11%

    d. 23.501 cm

    % error = |23.490 - 23.501| / 23.490 x 100 = 0.05%

    e. 23.477 cm

    % error = |23.490 - 23.477| / 23.490 x 100 = 0.055%
