Measuring Distance with String Method

The video tutorial explains how to measure the distance along a curved road using the string method. The process involves aligning a string at the start of the road, moving it along the road while holding it down, and marking the endpoint. The string is then measured using a scale, either directly or by marking it on paper first. The final distance is calculated in kilometers and meters.

What is the primary purpose of using the string method in this context?

• To find the area of a field

• To measure the height of a building

• To determine the weight of an object

• To calculate the distance along a curved road

What is the first step in using the string method?

• Cutting the string to a specific length

• Measuring the string with a ruler

• Aligning the string at the beginning of the road

• Tying the string to a pole

Why is it important to use two hands when moving the string along the road?

• To maintain accuracy in measurement

• To prevent the string from getting dirty

• To make the process faster

• To ensure the string does not break

After aligning and moving the string, what is the next step?

• Tying the string to the endpoint

• Marking the endpoint on a piece of paper

• Directly measuring the string with a scale

• Cutting the string at the endpoint

How is the distance initially measured using the string method?

• In miles

• In inches

• In feet

• In kilometers

What additional step is taken to measure the remaining distance after using the string method?

• Using a GPS device

• Measuring the remaining distance in meters

• Estimating the distance visually

• Using a laser distance meter

What is the total distance measured using the string method?

• 3 kilometers

• 2 kilometers and 800 meters

• 2 kilometers and 500 meters

• 1 kilometer and 800 meters
