2. A rectangular lot was measured using a 50 m steel tape which was found to be 0.025 m too short. If the recorded length and width are 180 m. and 120 m. respectively, determine the following: a. Actual dimension of the lot b. The error in area introduced due to the erroneous length of tape 3. A 500 m. track is to be laid out on a straightaway course using a 50 m. tape known to be 50.06 m long. Determine the measurements to be made on a 300 m track so that the course will have the correct length.
