What is the relative error? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Error in the sphere's surface: 29  and relative error in surface measure: 0.011

Error in the sphere's volume: 205 and relative error in the volume measure: 0.017

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

The measured length (l) of the circumference is 90 cm with an error of 0.5 cm, that is:

and with regards to the error:

then when we use the formula for the sphere's surface, we get:

Then the relative error in the surface is:

(b)

Use the formula for the volume of the sphere:

Then the relative error in the volume is:

1/4 because there is 4 grades.
