    The metallic tape used to lay out a building that is supposed to be 80m by 100m is found to be 0.15m too short. To determine the correct dimensions to use for the building, the error is calculated by multiplying the error per unit length of the tape (0.15m) by the total length of tape used (30m). This gives an error of 0.5m for the length and 0.4m for the width. So the correct dimensions to use are a length of 100.5m and a width of 80.4m.

    11. LAYING OUT DISTANCES.

    It is required to lay out a building 80 m by 100 m


    with 30-m long metallic tape which was found to be 0.15 m too short. Determine
    the correct dimensions to be used in order that the building shall have the
    desired measurements.

    Given:

    L = 100m c = +0.15 m

    W= 80m NL = 30 m

    Required:

    The correct dimensions to be used, L’ and W’

    Illustration:

    100 m

    80 m

    Solution:

    𝐿′ = 𝐿 + 𝐶 𝑊′ = 𝑊 + 𝐶
    𝐿 𝑊
    𝐶=𝑐𝑥 𝐶=𝑐𝑥
    𝑁𝐿 𝑁𝐿

    100𝑚 80𝑚
    𝐶 = 0.15𝑚 𝑥 ( 30𝑚 ) 𝐶 = 0.15𝑚 𝑥 (30𝑚)

    𝐶 = 0.50 𝑚 𝐶 = 0.40 𝑚

    𝐿′ = 100𝑚 + 0.50𝑚 𝑊′ = 80𝑚 + 0.40𝑚

    𝑳′ = 𝟏𝟎𝟎. 𝟓𝟎 𝒎 𝑾′ = 𝟖𝟎. 𝟒𝟎 𝒎
