2 The length and width of a rectangular shape

measured to the nearest millimeter are 6.8 cm and
5.3cm respectively. Find to three significant figures
the percentage error in the area of the rectangular
shape.
Actual area = Lx W
= 6.8cm x 5.3cm = 36.04cm2
Maximum area = LxW
(6.85 x 5.35) cm2
= 36.6475cm2
