Calculate Max Error



Formula

The formula to calculate the Max Error is:

\[ ME = 3 \cdot s^2 \cdot ds \]

Where:

Example

Let's say the side length (s) is 5 inches and the maximum side error (ds) is 0.1 inches. The Max Error would be calculated as follows:

\[ ME = 3 \cdot 5^2 \cdot 0.1 = 7.5 \text{ in³} \]

So, the Max Error is 7.5 in³.

What is Max Error?

Max Error is the total error in volume that can occur due to the maximum possible error in the measurement of the side length. It is calculated by multiplying the side length squared by 3, then multiplying by the maximum side error.
