The document outlines Exercise No. 2 from the Surveying Laboratory at Colegio De Muntinlupa, focusing on determining the area of a rectilinear field using tape measurements. The procedure involves establishing corners, subdividing the field into triangles, measuring distances, and calculating angles. The conclusion emphasizes using Heron's formula for area calculation, and a recommendation suggests conducting the experiment in a face-to-face setup for better engagement.

Exercise No. 2
Determining Area of a Rectilinear
Field by Tape

Date Performed: Location:


September 04, 2021 Indoor
Time Performed: Weather Condition:
9:00 am-12:00 pm Sunny

Group Name:
SYNTAX Inc.
Position:
Chief of Party
Procedure:
1. Establish the corners of the assigned field
and also establish within the field a
centrally-located point.
2. Subdivide the field into a convenient
series of connected triangles. Use pegs,
hubs, or pins to mark the vertices of each
triangle.
3. From the centrally-located point, measure distances to each point
defining the
corners or vertices of each triangle. Call
these distances d1, d2, and etc.
4. Using the chord method of measuring angle
by tape, determine all the angles about the
central point.

Conclusion:
Throughout the whole exercise, I can therefore conclude that the
easiest way to solve the area
of a rectilinear field is to subdivided the
field into a convenient series of connected
triangles and use Heron’s formula to get the
sub-area’s and sum up all the sub-area’s to
get the final area.

Recommendation:
Based from what I’ve experienced from this experiment, I may
recommend that this expe-
riment should be conducted in a face to face
