A 20 m tape was used for measuring a line at an average temperature of 65º F. The measured distances on the ground and slope of the ground are as given below: 2º 18′ for 125 m 3º 30′ for 250 m 1º 42′ for a distance of 170 m If the temperature at which tape was standardised is 80º F, find the true length of the line. Take α = 6.2 × 10^(–6) /ºF

Question
A 20 m tape was used for measuring a line at an average temperature of 65º F. The
measured distances on the ground and slope of the ground are as given below:
2º 18′ for 125 m
3º 30′ for 250 m
1º 42′ for a distance of 170 m
If the temperature at which tape was standardised is 80º F, find the true length of the line.
Take α = 6.2 × 10^(–6) /ºF.
