Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The width of the microchip is w=4.456w=4.456 mm. The height of the microchip is h=0.0055h=0.0055 mm3. The depth of the microchip is z=3.5z=3.5 mm4. The volume of the microchip can be calculated using the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism, which is Volume=width×height×depthVolume = width \times height \times depth

STEP 2

First, we need to calculate the exact volume of the microchip using the formula.
Volume=w×h×zVolume = w \times h \times z

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the width, height, and depth to calculate the volume.
Volume=.456mm×0.0055mm×3.5mmVolume =.456 \, mm \times0.0055 \, mm \times3.5 \, mm

STEP 4

Calculate the exact volume of the microchip.
Volume=4.456mm×0.005mm×3.mm=0.107694mm3Volume =4.456 \, mm \times0.005 \, mm \times3. \, mm =0.107694 \, mm^3

STEP 5

Write the volume rounded to3 decimal places.
Volume0.108mm3Volume \approx0.108 \, mm^3

STEP 6

Write the volume rounded to the nearest hundredths.
Volume0.11mm3Volume \approx0.11 \, mm^3

STEP 7

Write the volume rounded to three significant figures.
Volume0.108mm3Volume \approx0.108 \, mm^3

STEP 8

Write the answer in the form a×10ka \times10^k, where 1<a<10,kZ1<a<10, k \in Z.
Volume1.08×101mm3Volume \approx1.08 \times10^{-1} \, mm^3

STEP 9

Calculate the percentage error between the exact volume and the volume rounded to the nearest hundredths. The formula for percentage error isPercentageerror=ExactvalueApproximatevalueExactvalue×100%Percentage\, error = \left|\frac{Exact\, value - Approximate\, value}{Exact\, value}\right| \times100\%

STEP 10

Plug in the values for the exact volume and the approximate volume to calculate the percentage error.
Percentageerror=0.107694mm30.mm30.107694mm3×100%Percentage\, error = \left|\frac{0.107694 \, mm^3 -0. \, mm^3}{0.107694 \, mm^3}\right| \times100\%

STEP 11

Calculate the percentage error.
Percentageerror=0.107694mm30.11mm30.107694mm3×100%=.14%Percentage\, error = \left|\frac{0.107694 \, mm^3 -0.11 \, mm^3}{0.107694 \, mm^3}\right| \times100\% =.14\%

STEP 12

Write the percentage error rounded to2 significant figures.
Percentageerror2.%Percentage\, error \approx2.\%
