PROBLEM 6: The measurement of a side of a square is found to be 12 cm, with possible error of 0.05 cm. Using differentials, a) approximate the percent error in calculating the area of the square b) and estimate the maximum allowable percent error in measuring the side if the percent error in computing the area cannot exceed 2.5%. (Note: Percent error is the difference between estimated value and the actual value in comparison to the actual value and is expressed as a percentage)
