1. A student is about to determine his pace factor with 100m reference distance using a steel tape.

He had 5 trials and recorded the following number of paces: 145, 142, 146, 144.5, and 143.
Determine:
a. His average pace factor.
b. How many pace would it take to measure 250m distance?

Line Trials no. of pace

100m 1 145
100m 2 142
100m 3 146
100m 4 144.5
100m 5 143
a. His average pace factor
Distance
Face factor =
ave. # of paces

145+142+146+144.5+143
=
5
= 144.1 ave. m/pace

b. How many pace would it take to measure 250m distance

Distance = 250m
Distance
1. Pace factor=
#of pace

100m
=
144.1

= 0.69 pace factor

Distance
2. #of pace=
pace factor
250m
=
0.69
= 362.31 pace
2. A student having a pace factor of 0.85m/pace.
a. He counts 58 paces while walking from point A to point B. What is
the distance between A and B?
b. How many paces should the same surveyor count to lay out a line
roughly 150m long?

a. distance from A to B?

Distance
1. Pace factor=
#of pace

Distance= pace factor x #of pace

= 0.85 x 37

= 32.45m

b. How many paces

Distance
Pace factor=
#of pace

Distance
# of pace=

0.85
= 176.47 pace
