Answer: 3.45%
we first need to calculate the absolute error, which is the difference between the measured value and the actual value.
Absolute error = 114 - 14.5l = 0.5 inches

X
Next, we need to calculate the relative error, which is the absolute error divided by the actual value.
Relative error = (absolute error / actual
value) * 100%
Substituting the values, we get.
Relative error = (0.5 / 14.5) * 100% = 3.45%
Therefore, the percent error of the measurement is approximately 3.45%.
This means that the measured value is
3.45% less than the actual value.
