Survey

The length of a survey line was measured using a chain with a nominal length of 30 m and found to be 631.5 m. Upon comparison with a standard, the chain was found to be actually 0.10 m too long. Find the true length of the survey line.

The area of a plot on a map is measured using a planimeter and found to be 10.22 cm². The original scale of the map was 1 : 25,000. However, the map has shrunk over time, such that a line originally 5 cm long now measures only 4.8 cm. What is the correct field area of the plot in hectares?

A surveyor measured the distance between two points on a plan and calculated the length to be equal to 650 m assuming the scale of the plan was 1 cm = 50 m. Later, it was discovered that the actual scale of the plan was 1 cm = 40 m. Find the true distance between the points.
