September 21st, the students of South East Asian Institute of Technology Inc.'s
Fundamentals of Surveying class, together with their lecturer Jay Lundahan, participated in an
outdoor exercise at the SEAIT campus as part of their Pacing Activity. The purpose of the
aforementioned outdoor exercise is to broaden students' understanding of the topic at hand,
Pacing and Distance Measurement.

September 21st, we gathered at school to discuss what we should do with our activity.
It is stated there that we should conduct a pacing distance measurement. Pacing is the
straightforward way to measure distance. Pacing is the process of walking a distance and
counting the number of "paces" required to complete the distance. Engineer Jay Lundahan
explains what we should do. Following the discussion. We completed this in 5 trials. After
determining our pace factor, we walk another distance to solve the actual distance of the
measured distance.

Results
Pacing
Trial 1 - 92
Trial 2 - 87
Trial 3 - 88
Trial 4 - 86
Trial 5 - 89
Average Measured = 442
Average Measured/No. Trial = 442/5 = 88.4 Number of Paces
To solve for the Pace Factor
P.F = Actual Distance / No. of Paces
62.475/88.4= 0.71
Conclusion
To calculate the individual pace factor, a measured or known length of a line must be
divided by the average number of paces taken to walk the line. To measure an unknown
distance, multiply the pace factor by the average number of paces taken to cross the line. We
can deduct from this action that distance can be calculated or roughly assessed via pacing.
Each of us has our own pace factor, which is determined by how we habitually walk or by the
length of our leg and the distance we cover in a single stride.

Remarks
Pacing refers to how you directly measure distance by walking to a certain spot. You
may roughly estimate the distance of the area by simply walking around and counting the
number of steps you make, then multiplying that amount by your personal pace factor. You don't
need to obtain a tape measure and measure the distance with this since it takes a lot of time
and work. It allows us to save time and resources. Pacing refers to the process of calculating
distance by simply walking to a given point. You may get a good estimate of the distance in the
region by walking about and calculating how many steps you took, then multiplying that number
by your own pace factor. This removes the need to use a tape measure and measure the
distance, which takes a significant amount of time and effort. It allows us to save time and
personnel.
