    A track coach wants to lay out a 200m straightaway course but has a measuring tape that is 50.20m long. To account for the extra 0.20m on the tape, the measurements taken need to be 199.20m to ensure the actual course length is 200m. The tape will be used to measure 50m sections, with the total overmeasurement of 0.80m (0.20m x 4 sections) subtracted from the target 200m length.

    10. LAYING OUT DISTANCES.

    A track and field coach wishes to lay out for his


    team a 200-m straightway course. If he uses a 50-m tape known to be 50.20 m
    long, determine the measurements to be made so that the course will have the
    correct length.

    Given:

    L = 200m c = 0.20 m

    NL = 50 m

    Required:

    The measurements to be made, L’

    Illustration:

    Solution:
    𝐿
    𝐿′ = 𝐿 − 𝐶 𝐶=𝑐𝑥 𝐿′ = 200𝑚 − 0.80𝑚
    𝑁𝐿

    200𝑚
    𝐶 = 0.20𝑚 𝑥 ( 50𝑚 ) 𝑳′ = 𝟏𝟗𝟗. 𝟐𝟎 𝒎

    𝐶 = 0.80 𝑚
