Since 1 kilometre = 1000 metres, then if an error is 1 m in 1 km, then that would translate to 1/1000 = 0.001 x 100 = 0.1% error.
The error in its area is then 2 percent....
type1 error is more dangerous
The relative error puts the size of the error into context. An absolute error of 10, in a number whose value is 1 indicates a range of -9 to 11 for the true value. This means that telling you that the value is 1 is near enough pointless. On the other hand, an absolute error of 10 in a number whose value is 1 billion means that the true value is somewhere in the range 999,999,990 and 1,000,000,010. I suggest that the discrepancy is not significant. The relative error in the first case is 1000% and in the second, it is 1 millionth of 1%.
