While measuring the side of an equilater...

While measuring the side of an equilateral triangle an error of k% is made, the percentage error in its area

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

side of equilateral `/_= a`
error in side measurement=`k%`
`(da)/a xx 100 = k`
area of an equilateral `/_ = sqrt3/4 a^2 = 5`
`(ds)/(da) = d/(da) ((sqrt3 a^2)/4) = sqrt3/4(2a) `
`ds = sqrt3/2 a*da`
error in area of equilateral `/_ ` will be = `(ds)/s xx 100`
`(ds)/s = ((sqrt3/2)a *da)/((sqrt3/4)a^2)`
