CONCLUSION

On the first part of our field work our group measured the sides of a
pentagon manually using the measuring tape, poles, and chalk. We used
the taping method to measure the sides of our pentagon. After measuring
the sides, we then formed three inscribed triangles inside the pentagon and
tried to get their areas using different methods, first is using by base and
altitude method, method two by two sides and the included angle and the
last method is using Heron’s formula.
The main objective of the fieldwork was to develop skills in
determining the area of a polygonal field using the tape only by dividing the
area into triangle. The main objective was accomplished by the group as
we tackled the fieldwork based on the procedures and the result that we
got was accurate
To formally conclude this field work, I can say that using only the tape
to determine the area of a polygonal field is a skill that every engineer
should know because there might be times that it might be needed in our
field of work.

RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that in the next field work, that we should carefully check
each solution as everything is tied together and one wrong result might
compromise the whole fieldwork. Next is that we should not hurry in
computing for the answers as it might get us flustered and get wrong
answers.
