anonymous · Answer

estimate is 
$$100\times 850=85,000$$ actual area is 
$$140\times 940=131,600$$

I am not sure, .0987... in my opinion

anonymous · Answer

$$131,600-85,000=46,600$$ a rather large error if i have my numbers right

anonymous · Answer

Righ!
my answer is wrong

anonymous · Answer

as a percent it would be 
$$\frac{466,00}{131,600}=35.4\%$$ unless i messed up
