Determining The Ratio Of Circumference To Diameter Of A Circle
Beginning of paper
In determining the ratio of the circumference to the diameter I began by
measuring the diameter of one of the si objects which contained circles, then
using a string, I wrapped the string around the circle and compared the length
of the string, which measured the circumference, to a meter stick. W ....

.... the accepted ratio from the experimental you find the
error. Error is the deviation of the experimental ratio from the accepted ratio.
After I had the error I could go on to find the percentage error. The equation I
used was, error divided by the accepted ratio times 100. For example, if I took
the error of the experimental ratio for the paper towels, which was 0.12. I took
that and divided it by the accepted ratio giving me .03821651. Then I multiplied
that by 100 giving me about 3.1 ....
