There is not enough information to do this problem. There is a formula for finding the percent error. It is : |Approximate value - exact value| / exact value x 100%

This is really more of an experimental physics question, and it depends on what it was measured with. A ruler with centimeter divisions? Millimeter divisions? A micrometer? A yardstick marked out in inches?
