    2m and 11.8%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Absolute error is defined mathematically as;

    Error/original value

    [Original value - estimated value]

    [17-15 ] = 2m

    The percentage error would be

    [Original value - estimated value] / original value

    [17-15 ] / 17 * 100%

    0.1176 * 100% = 11.76%

    11.8%[ to the nearest tenth]

    Absolute Error = Measured Value - Actual Value

    17m - 15m = 2m
