6- The length of a line is measured as 488.4 ft. and the actual tape length is found to be 99.95 ft. What is the correct length of the line? Temperature is 68 degrees of Fahrenheit. 7- A tape with actual length of 100.06 is used for measurement of a line (A to B) in two segments. The full tape length covered segment 1 which was measured in 92°F. Segment 2 was measured in 33° F and found to be 75.4 ft What is the correct length between A to B?

A surveyor uses a steel measuring tape that is exactly 50.000 m long at a temperature of 20°C. The markings on the tape are calibrated for this temperature. (a) What is the length of the tape when the temperature is 35°C? (b) When it is 35°C, the surveyor uses the tape to measure a distance. The value that she reads off the tape is 35.794 m. What is the actual distance?

2) A 100-foot surveyor's tape is correct at a temperature of 65°F. The distance between two points is measured with this tape on a day when the temperature is 95°F, and it turns out to be 86.57 feet. What is the true distance between the two points? Give the answer in meters, and use the values of temperature on the Celsius scale
