2. A rectangular lot was measured using a 50 m steel tape which was found to be 0.025 m too short. If the recorded length and width are 180 m. and 120 m. respectively, determine the following: a. Actual dimension of the lot b. The error in area introduced due to the erroneous length of tape 3. A 500 m. track is to be laid out on a straightaway course using a 50 m. tape known to be 50.06 m long. Determine the measurements to be made on a 300 m track so that the course will have the correct length.

2. A rectangular lot was measured using a 50 m steel tape which was found to be 0.025
m too short. If the recorded length and width are 180 m. and 120 m. respectively,
determine the following:
a. Actual dimension of the lot
b. The error in area introduced due to the erroneous length of tape

3. A 500 m. track is to be laid out on a straightaway course using a 50 m. tape known to
be 50.06 m long. Determine the measurements to be made on a 300 m track so that the
course will have the correct length.

 
1. A surveyor recorded 50, 52, 53, 51, 51, 53, 52 and 51 paces in walking along a 45 m.
course along a concrete pavement. He then took 768, 771, 772, 769, 770, 769 and 770
paces in walking an unknown distance AB. Determine his pace factor and the distance
АВ.
