an error 3 % in excess is made while measuring the side of a square . the percentage of error in the calculated area of the square is
"100 cm is read as 102 cm . a 1 = ( 100 x 100 ) cm 2 and a 2 ( 103 x 103 ) cm 2 . ( a 2 - a 1 ) = [ ( 103 ) 2 - ( 100 ) 2 ] = ( 103 + 100 ) x ( 103 - 100 ) = 609 cm 2 . percentage error = 6.09 e"
divide(multiply(subtract(square_area(add(const_100, 3)), square_area(const_100)), const_100), square_area(const_100))
