You are trying to help Chantal understand the concept of a 5% slack in the line. You explain that having a 5% slack means that the length is 5% longer
than it would be if it were completely straight. You compare AABC to Figure
DEF, where curve DE is 5% longer than line segment AB.
a cable
t heights
carry a
cable.
Right Triangle without Slack
Figure with Slack

Enter the length of curve DE given the curve is 5% longer than line segment
AB.

step-by-step explanation:

(s)he  is right it would be 5.5% because it is smaller than 15.5% or anything smaller than 15.5% in general

step-by-step explanation:

if you want to solve percent error follow these steps.

1. subtract the accepted value from the experimental value.

2. take the absolute value of step 1.

3. divide that answer by the accepted value.

4. multiply that answer by 100 and add the % symbol to express the answer as a percentage.

if you want to solve percent of change just do this.

1. work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing.

2. divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100. if your answer is a negative number then this is a percentage decrease.

hope this : )
