Answer:

The percent error is 34.28 %.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Observed height of the building is 23 feet and the actual height of the building is 35 feet.

We need to find the percentage error. It is given by :


\%=\frac{\text{actual value}-\text{observed value}}{\text{actual value}}* 100

Plugging all the values, we get :


\%=(35-23)/(35)* 100\\\\\%=34.28\%

So, the percent error is 34.28 %.
