Module 2: Area Computation

This module will familiarize you in the application of integration formulas for single and multi-variable functions such as involving algebraic, trigonometric, logarithmic, exponential, and inverse trigonometric functions.

Corrections to taping are applied by the use of the following rules:

1st Rule: When a line is measured with a tape that is “too long”, the corrections are applied to the observed length by adding.

2nd Rule: When a specified or required length is to be laid out with a tape that is “too long”, the corrections are subtracted from the known length to determine the corrected length to be laid out.

3rd Rule: When measuring or laying out lengths with a tape that is “too short”, the corrections are applied opposite to those stated in the first two rules.

The following conditions which could exist during a taping operation may require the application of corrections:

In this module, It is also reflected in my mind the context of distance pacing. Based from what I know, pacing consists of counting the number of steps or paces in a required distance. Also, a pace is pertaining to the length of a step in walking and can be measured from heel to heel or from toe to toe.

I was able to conduct a pace survey where I was tasked to determine my pace factor.

After I conducted the survey, it is reflected in mine that in different situations, balancing the traverse can be applied. However, it is important as well to understand that errors brought from different land titles can greatly affect the totality of the area. That is why it is important to be literate and do well in the actualization of works to achieve reasonable measurements and minimal adjustments.

I learned here that the pace factor is of utmost importance since it would be helpful for future research/references. In the growing technological population, it’s still significant to be practical and use this kind of method to make the desired result. One can use this in different surveys but not forever because there are still factors that we cannot avoid that make our normal pace factor different such as height growth, if you manage to grow tall, your legs would be long, meaning your normal pace factor would be affected. That’s why it is a need to keep track of your normal pace factor so that the results with the use of that method would be accurate and can be used for a long period of time.

One of the objectives of land surveying is to determine the area of the land surveyed. But to mention the basic concepts, we have different area computation methods.

These are characterized into 3. These are, area by graphical method, area by triangles, and lastly, area by coordinates. However, in this topic, I learned that this can be applied in different areas concerned to make sure that the inputted data are accurate and precise.

Regarding the application, I was tasked to check the totality of the area consisting of different distances and angles. Even though there is a minimal error of uncertainty, we cannot change the fact that the results are good meaning we can accept the minimal uncertainty regarding the measures of the computed areas.

Also, it is reflected in mine that in different situations, balancing the traverse can be applied. However, it is important as well to understand that errors brought from different land titles can greatly affect the totality of the area. That is why it is important to be literate and do well in the actualization of works to achieve reasonable measurements and minimal adjustments.
