D) $0.02 \text { ha; } 0.005 \text { ha; } 0.111111 ; 5.56 \%$
E) $0.01 \text { ha; } 0.02 \text { ha; } 0.111111 ; 11.11 \%$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Precision = 0.01 ha (the smallest unit of measurement given)
Greatest possible error = 0.005 ha (half of the precision value)
Relative error = greatest possible error/actual measurement = 0.005 ha/0.09 ha = 0.055556
Percent of error = relative error x 100% = 5.56% (rounded to the nearest hundredth)
