A distance of 2900 m was measured with a 60 m chain. After the measurement chain was
found to be 90 mm longer. If the length of chain was perfectly correct while starting
measurement, what is the true length of the line measured?

c=
= 45mm
= 0.045m

Chain Length = 60m

Correction for measured length

Ca= L
=2900 m
= 2.175 m

True Length
= 2900 m + 2.175 m
= 2902.175 m
