WEATHER: SUNNY

I. OBJECTIVES:

 TO DETERMINE THE DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO POINTS WITHOUT DIRECT

MEASUREMENT.
 TO DEVELOP THE SKILLS IN DETERMINING THE HORIZONTAL DISTANCE OF AN EVEN
GROUND BY BREAKING THE TAPE METHOD UP AND DOWN THE SLOPE.
 TO WORK COLLABORATIVELY WITH THE GROUP MEMBERS.
 TO APPLY THE VALUE OF PATIENCE IN MEASURING THE DISTANCE OF THE GROUND.

II. INSTRUMENTS:

 MEASURING TAPE (50M AND 30M)

 CHALK
 RULER
 30X60X90 TRIANGLE

III. PROCEDURES:

METHOD 1: PARALLEL LINE

1. IDENTIFY THE DISTANCE TO BE ASSESSED, MARKING THE START AND END
POINTS.

2. MEASURE THE ADDITIONAL DISTANCE FROM THE FINAL POINT TO THE SIDEWALK,
ACCOUNTING FOR OBSTACLES, USING A TAPE MEASURE AND A TRIANGLE TO
ENSURE PERPENDICULAR LINES.

3. PROJECT THE POINT WHERE OBSTACLES ARE ABSENT AND REPLICATE THE
MEASURED DISTANCE FROM STEP 2. USE A TRIANGLE TO MAINTAIN
PERPENDICULAR LINES.

4. REPEAT STEPS 2 AND 3 ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE, MARKING THE NECESSARY

POINTS.

5. CREATE REFERENCE MARKS WITH CHALK FOR WIDTH MEASUREMENT ON BOTH

SIDES OF THE PROJECTED LINE.

6. USE THE TAPE MEASURE TO DETERMINE THE UNKNOWN DISTANCE BY

CONNECTING THE ENDPOINTS OF THE PROJECTED LINES FROM STEPS 3 AND 4,
FORMING A PARALLEL LINE TO THE OBSTRUCTED DISTANCE.

7. IF NECESSARY, COMBINE MEASUREMENTS TO OBTAIN THE OBSTRUCTED

DISTANCE.

METHOD 2: RIGHT ANGLE

1. MEASURE THE DISTANCE WHERE THERE IS AN UNOBSTRUCTED PATH.

2. IDENTIFY THE TWO POINTS OF THE OBSTRUCTED PATH, a AND b, THAT DEFINE
THE START AND END OF THE REQUIRED LINE SEGMENT.

3. ESTABLISH POINT o AT a LOCATION AWAY FROM THE OBSTRUCTION, ENSURING

CLEAR VISIBILITY TO POINTS a AND b.

4. ENSURE THAT LINES ao AND bo INTERSECT AT THE RIGHT ANGLES. USE A RIGHT-
ANGLED TRIANGLE OR ENSURE PERPENDICULARITY USING ANOTHER SUITABLE
METHOD.

5. MEASURE THE DISTANCE BETWEEN POINTS a AND o, AND BETWEEN B AND O, AS

ACCURATELY AS POSSIBLE USING THE MEASURING TAPE. MARK THIS DISTANCE FOR
REFERENCE.

6. DO THE NECESSARY CALCULATION BY EITHER USING PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM

OR SINE LAW.

7. COMBINE ALL THE DISTANCES THAT HAVE BEEN GATHERED IN THE PROCESS.

V. DATA:

BASED ON THE GRAPHICAL REPRESENTATION,

METHOD 1: PARALLEL

 TO PROJECT POINT A AND B:

d1 = 1.560m (FM)
d1 = 1.562m (BM)

d3 = 2.0m (FM)
d3 = 2.0m (BM)

THE MEAN OF d1 AND d2 WAS ACQUIRED FIRST IN ORDER TO PROCEED IN GETTING THE
SUCCEEDING DATA.

 LENGTH OF LINE AA’ (d2) : (MEASURED)

FM: 16.74m
BM: 16.74m

 LENGTH OF LINE BB’ (d4) : (LAID OUT)

: 16.74m

 LENGTH OF LINE A’B’ (LPARALLEL):

USING 30m and 50m TAPE,

FM: 30m + 39.32m
BM: 30m + 39.39m

METHOD 2: RIGHT ANGLE

 DISTANCE OF d1: (MEASURED)

FM: 24.22m
BM: 24.20m

 DISTANCE OF d2: (MEASURED)

FM: 23.905m
BM: 23.905m

 USING RIGHT ANGLE METHOD FOR THE OBSTRUCTED PART: (LAID OUT)

LINE bo = 15m
LINE ao = 15m

THE ACQUIRED DISTANCE OF LINE ab WILL BE SHOWN IN THE COMPUTATION.

VI. COMPUTATIONS:
BASED ON THE ACQUIRED DATA,

METHOD 1: PARALLEL

 MEAN OF THE PROJECTED POINT A AND B:

d1 x = 1.560m + 1.562m = 1.561m

2

d3 x = 2.0m + 2.0m = 2.0m

2

 MEAN OF THE LENGTH OF LINE AA’:

d2 x = 16.74m + 16.74m = 16.74m

2

 MEAN OF THE LENGTH OF LINE A’B’ :

FM: 30m + 39.32m = 69.32m

BM: 30m + 39.39m = 69.39m

LPARALLEL = 69.32m + 69.39m = 69.355m

2

METHOD 2: RIGHT ANGLE

USING PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM,

y = √ bo2 + ao2
y = √ 152 + 152
y = 21.2132m
