a) A rectangular lot was measured using a 30 meters metallic tape which was 5.0 mm too long. The recorded dimensions were 150.00 m long by 45.00 m wide. (1) What is the error introduced due to the erroneous length of tape? (2) What is the actual area of the lot? b) A rectangular lot was measured using a 30 meters metallic tape which was 5.0 mm too short. The recorded dimensions were 120.00 m long by 65.00 m wide. (1) What is the error introduced due to the erroneous length of tape? (2) What is the actual area of the lot?
