Error in Area Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the error in area is:

$EIA = \left( \frac{TA - MA}{TA} \right) \times 100$

Where:

$EIA$ is the Error In Area (%)
$TA$ is the theoretical area (ft²)
$MA$ is the measured area (ft²)

What is Error in Area?

Error in Area is the percentage difference between the theoretical area and the measured area. It is calculated by dividing the difference between the theoretical area and the measured area by the theoretical area, then multiplying by 100. This calculation helps in determining the accuracy of measurements.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Theoretical Area (TA) = 100 ft²
Measured Area (MA) = 95 ft²

Using the formula:

$EIA = \left( \frac{100 - 95}{100} \right) \times 100 = 5%$

The error in area would be 5%.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Theoretical Area (TA) = 200 ft²
Measured Area (MA) = 190 ft²

Using the formula:

$EIA = \left( \frac{200 - 190}{200} \right) \times 100 = 5%$

The error in area would be 5%.
