A surveyor measured a 3000m line in three sections and found the tape length to be off each time. After 800m it was -2cm short, after 1800m it was +4cm long, and after 3000m it was +8cm long. Using the formula L = I x (Actual tape length) / (Assumed tape length), the correct distances for each section were calculated to be 799.467m, 1001.333m, and 1203.2m, giving a total correct measured distance of 3004m.

A 3000m line measured at three steps, after measuring a distance


of 800m the tape was found to be 2cm too short, after measuring
the total distance of 1800m the tape was found to be 4cm too long,
and after measuring the total distance of 3000m the tape was
tested again and was found to be 8cm too long. Find the correct
distance measured. A tape was tested before starting the survey
and found to be exactly 30m.

3000m

L = I x (Act. tape length)/ (Ass. tape length)

L. AB = 800 x (30 - 0.02)/30 = 799.467m

L. BC = 1000 x (30 + 0.04)/30 = 1001.333 m

L. CD = 1200 x (30 + 0.08)/30 = 1203.2 m

Correct distance measured = AB +BC + CD


=799.467+1001.333+1203.2
=3004 m
