A square residential lot is measured to be 100 feet on each side, with a possible measurement error of 1% in each of the length and width. What is the absolute difference between the largest and smallest possible measures of the area given this possible error?

If I understood the question correctly, the answer would be 400

The absolute difference between the largest and smallest possible measures of the area of the square lot is 400 square feet. The smallest possible area is 9801 square feet, while the largest possible area is 10,201 square feet. This difference arises due to a 1% measurement error in each side length.
