Exercise No. 4

DETERMINING AREA OF A RECTILINEAR FIELD BY TAPE

INTRODUCTION:
- Taping is another of determining the measurement of an area. Taping result is
More accurate and precise. This is the most common form of measuring an area easily.

A Surveyor performs operations involving linear and angular measurements. The surveyor
Must be expert in making precise measurements, in obtaining measurements of a certain area
By using method, just like taping method. In order to calculate the area, The surveyor must find
A Center point and two other points where she/he can make a triangle form.
In this experiment, The Civil engineering students will determine the area of a certain
Land surface by taping method.

Objectives.
͸ To determine the area of arectilinear field by tape

Instrument and Accessories

͸ Steel tape
͸ wood
͸ Sticks

DISCUSSION

In finding the measurements of an area, the surveyor is tasked to find a center point
Of the assign area where she/he can establish other points to form a triangle. By getting
All the triangle form of the certain area, the surveyor can now calculate easily the by using
The formula in getting the area of a triangle. Using the formula in getting the area of a triangle.
The computed area of the experiment is 911.498m

CONCLUSION.
I conclude that by establishing some points and a center points, you can easily
measure a certain area. Based on the laboratory, it is being conclude that determining
the area of a rectilinear field by using only measuring tape is not the easy as other people
think, but with the help of method that is being applied, the area of rectilinear field can be
determine easily in a process.
