Joshua uses his thermometer and finds the boiling point of ethyl alcohol to be 75 degrees Celsius. He looks in a reference book and finds that the actual boiling point of ethyl alcohol is 80 degrees Celsius. What is his percent error?

6.25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent error is calculated by taking the difference of measured value and correct value divided by correct value and multiplied by 100%.

Mathematically,

Percent error = (correct value - measured value)/correct value  * 100%

in the problem given

measured value = 75 degrees Celsius

correct value = 80 degrees Celsius ( as given in reference book)

thus,

Percent error = (80 - 75)/80 * 100%

Percent error = (5/80 )* 100% = 6.25%

Percent error calculated by him is  6.25%.

We will see that the percent error in Joshua's measure is:

Pe = 6.25%

The percent error for a measure is computed as:

Where A is the accepted value and M is the measured value.

Here we have:

A = 80°C

M = 70°C

Replacing that we get:

So we can conclude that the percent error is 6.25%

explanation

a reflection angle is more than

but less than;

an angle that measures

is a reflex angle.(true)

an angle that measures less than

is acute.(true)

provided we are considering angles greater or equal to zero.

an acute angle lies in the range.

an obtuse angle is less than 180° but more than 90°

an angle that measures 300° is obtuse (false)

an angle that measures 65° is an acute angle.(true)
