The length of the basketball court from MIT’s Gym was paced by a CE student whose pace factor is 0.78. How many paces accurate to ¼ of a pace do you think did the student make?
The table shown below was taken from Jack’s notes when he tried to determine the perimeter of his newly acquired agricultural piece of land. Knowing that his pace factor is 0.81, determine the perimeter of his lot. Complete the table:
Trial Line No. of Paces Paced Factor Paced Distance Perimeter
1 AB 125.25
2 BC 85
3 CD 79.5 0.81
4 DE 133
5 EF 185
6 FA 122
Every morning Joy walks to school from her boarding house and takes only a single route. For five consecutive days, she tries to count the number of paces she makes. Monday morning’s number of paces made by Joy is listed as 345 paces. On Tuesday, 353 paces; Wednesday, 358 paces; Thursday, 348 paces and, lastly, on Friday 355 paces. That Friday afternoon, a surveyor from City Engineer’s Office who is tasked to lay out a new drainage piping system, measured the exact route she took and found out that the taped distance is 275m. What is Joy’s pace factor?
1. Name three most important pointers that an individual must remember to follow in order to make his/her approximation of the distance of an unknown course to be as accurate as possible.
2. A student tries to measure the perimeter of a small park of his community by pacing around the area for three consecutive times. The no of paces was tallied at 535,543 and 539 respectively, for each trial. If the student’s pace factor is 0.74m/pace, determine the actual perimeter of the land.
