Question:

The base and height of a triangle are measured as 28 inches and 16 inches, respectively. Suppose that each measurement has a possible error of at most ε inches.

(a) Use differentials to estimate the maximum error in the calculated area of the triangle.

(b) What is the estimated maximum error in the area of the triangle if the base and height are measured with errors at most 1/4 inch?
