Given two lines, line A and line B, we are asked to estimate line A as a percentage of line B.

If we measure line A and B with a ruler by placing it on the screen, we would get line A to be approximately 3.5cm and line B to be 4.0cm

We can then find the estimated percentage using the formula below;


\text{\%}Estimated=(LineA)/(LineB)*100
\begin{gathered} \text{\%}Estimated=(3.5)/(4.0)*100 \\ \text{\%}Estimated=87.5\text{\%} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the answer would give;


87.5\text{\%}
