Surveying Problem 1

A distance of 1000 ft is to be taped with an error of not more than +- .10 ft Determine how accurately each 100 ft length must be measured to ensure the error will not exceed the permissible limit.

1000/100 = 10
0.1ft/10 = 0.01
(every 100 - foot length) +- 0.01 = +-100.01

+- 100.01 ft.
