Answer the following questions as best you can. The first two should be easy to answer. The last one is the most likely source of confusion, and if so we'll deal with that after I see your answers:
For each level of reduction you measured the two legs, and the hypotenues.
For each level of reduction:
What is the difference between the two legs? &&&.5cm&&&
What is the hypotenuse? &&&4.3cm&&&
What is the difference between the two legs as a percent of the length of the hypotenues? &&&8.6%&&&
This was what you needed me to submit for the optical distortion dealing with the rulers lab.

8.6% of 4.3 cm is about .37 cm, not .5 cm.
Can you revise your answer and give the details of how it was calculated?
