Question:medium

The edges of a cuboid are measured with a scale having an error of \(0.01\) cm per cm. If the dimensions of the cuboid are \[ (l,b,h)=(12,5,7), \] then the percentage error in the volume of the cuboid is

Show Hint

For a product \[ V=lbh, \] the maximum relative error is \[ \boxed{ \frac{\Delta V}{V} = \frac{\Delta l}{l} + \frac{\Delta b}{b} + \frac{\Delta h}{h}. } \] Multiply the relative error by \(100\) to obtain the percentage error.
