A rectangle or field is 62 m long and 48 m wide Diana estimate the length of the field to be 60 m and the ways to be 45 m what is the percent error of Dianas estimated area measurement round your answer to the nearest whole percent

To make estimates, we usually round the numbers the nearest integer.

Since 1.9 is closest to 2 than it is to 1, the nearest integer of 1.9 is 2.

Similarly, since 4.4 is closest to 4 than it is to 5, the nearest integer of 4.4 is 4.

Now, to estimate the area of the farm, we are going to multiply our two integers:

Estimated Area of the Farm= x

Since 8 is between 4 and 10, we can conclude that the best estimate of the area of the farm is: between 4 and 10

Step-by-step explanation:

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
