A surveying party layout a 100-meter boundary line AB of a certain property at 35 degrees Celsius. After the layout, it was observed that the 10-meter surveyor’s tape used has an actual length of 10.60meters. To reconfigure the layout, determine the correct length if the tape has a standard temperature of 25 degrees, and the instrument and environmental errors happened at the same time with the basis of L = 10 meters. Hint: New length = corrected length due to temperature effect + corrected length due to tape defect.
