Due to the Covid-19 problem, Hamdin needs to measure a perimeter
of a lake to build a
fence. He asked Marzu, Wahib and Usman to run the measurement and
report to him
immediately. Marzu informed that the perimeter was “1200
footsteps”, while Wahib
mentioned the perimeter was “1100 footsteps”. Later on, Usman came
and told that the size
was “1300 footsteps”.
i) Discuss in terms of measurement, why there were the different
answers of the
perimeter from Marzu, Wahib and Usman although they were measuring
the same
lake?
ii) Please propose a new method of measurement to improve the
precision and
accuracy of the perimeter measurement?
