Answer:

The answer is 28.57 %

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage error of a certain measurement can be found by using the formula


P(\%) = (error)/(actual \: \: number) * 100\% \\

actual measurement = 3.5 m

error = 3.5 - 2.5 = 1

We have


p(\%) = (1)/(3.5) * 100 \\ = 28.571428...

We have the final answer as

28.57 %

Hope this helps you
