Two points on a line is to be measured by surveyors for the purpose of creating a path. After a thorough measurement the line was recorded to have a length of 398.576m. During the inspection of the surveying equipment, the steel tape was found to be 49.087m instead of a standard 50m. Determine the following: a. Actual length of the line. b. If the line was inclined at a vertical angle of 10°30', what is the corresponding recorded and actual vertical distance of the line? c. What is the recorded and actual horizontal distance of the line?
