A percent error depends on the size of the measurement as well as the error itself. It's very intuitive to think about: If you're measuring a piece of paper and you're off by 4 cm, you'll have problems; if you're measuring the moon, that's nothing. A bigger percent error is a bigger deal to an engineer. You can calculate it the same way as any percentage: Divide the error by the total length of the measurement, then multiply by 100 to convert it from a proportion to a percentage.

Is it possible that a square can have the same perimeter and area?
Yes (apart from units):If the side of a square is 4cm then itsperimeter is 4cm + 4cm + 4cm + 4cm = 4 x 4cm = 16cm;area is 4cm x 4cm = 16cm2

Can the answer of a percent error problem be 300?
Yes, your percent error can be over 100%. This means that somewhere during your experiment you made a big error.
What is percent error if you use a value of 3.14 for 3.14?
If you mean percent error of 3.14 versus pi, which is 3.14159..., the error is only 0.05%
