A surveyor used a standardized 100 m tape. The steel tape was found to be 1.74mm shorter than the standard length at an observed temperature of 18.5°C and standard pull of 50 N. The same tape was also used to measure a certain route and recorded 2376.82m. During measurement, the observed temperature is 27°C and with an applied pull of 50N. If the coefficient of linear expansion of the tape is 0.0000116/°C, determine the standard temperature and the true length of the measured distance.
