    2.13%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Inaccurate measurement = 5.5cm

    Actual measurement = 5.62cm

    Difference = actual - inaccurate

    => 5.62 - 5.5

    Therefore, the measurement Jocelyn obtained is off by 0.12cm (difference)

    Note: error = difference

    % diff = error: actual measurement * 100

    = 0.12/5.62 * 100

    % diff. = 2.13 (to the nearest decimal place)
