Activity 3. Solve the following word problems and present your solution. 1. A surveyor's steel tape measure is calibrated at 65°F. a reading of 200 ft is found when the tape measure is used to determine the width of a building lot when the temperature is 10°F. How great an error does the temperature difference introduce? The coefficient of linear expansion steel is 6.7 x 10-6/°F.
