The distance between points is exactly 100 ft. This measurement is read correctly on steel surveyors tape at 70°F and with a 10-lb tension. If the tape measures another distance as 100ft at 100°F and with 20-lb tension, what is the actual distance? The tape is 3/8-inch wide and 1/32-inch thick. A. 100.0443ft B. 100.0332ft C. 100.0223ft D. 100.0112ft
