A non-sterile compound requires 750 mL of distilled water. Initially a beaker is used to measure out the 750 ml then transferred to a graduated cylinder for verification. Per the graduated cylinder, the amount measured is
762 mL. You are allowed a 1% range of error. Calculate the percentage of error in this measurement. Does the
measurement fall within the acceptable range of error?

NO it went past 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

by using the formula you can see it goes past the range of error

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2

+2+=+1296%2fx%5e2+

++x%5e2+=+1296%2f2+=+648+
