2. Absolute Error in Perimeter
The length of a rectangular room is 15 cm and the width is 12 cm. Each measurement is subject to 1.5% error.

  1. Calculate the absolute error for length and width.

    Absolute error in length = 1.5%1.5\% of 15 cm=0.015×15=0.225 cm15 \text{ cm} = 0.015 \times 15 = 0.225 \text{ cm}.
    Absolute error in width = 1.5%1.5\% of 12 cm=0.015×12=0.18 cm12 \text{ cm} = 0.015 \times 12 = 0.18 \text{ cm}.

  2. Calculate the absolute error
