Chapter 2, Problem 119A

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for the property owner to hire a surveyor needs to be explained to determine the property boundaries rather than measure property boundaries themselves.

Concept introduction:

The measurement which is close to the accepted value is called accurate measurement. There is little variation shown by set of precise measurements. The possible degree of precision is determined by the measuring device.

Explanation of Solution

Instruments are highly accurate. Surveyors use instruments that are highly accurate in determining the area around the property. Human errors are more likely to occur while measuring the area around the property. Instruments provide the precise and most accurate readings.

Thus, the property owner hires a surveyor to determine the property boundaries rather than measure property boundaries themselves.
