Using the scale bar, approximately what length is shown along the bent centerline from STA-A to STA-D?
Correct Answer
C) 80 ft
The scaled run is longer than the straight chord because it follows the bent centerline.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
The scaled run is longer than the straight chord because it follows the bent centerline.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: 20 ft
Choice A uses one scale-bar length only.
Option B: 60 ft
Choice B uses about three scale-bar lengths and misses the last bend.
Option D: 100 ft
Choice D uses five scale-bar lengths, which overstates the drawn centerline.
Memory Technique
For scaled bent temporary fence, the bar is the ruler and the route is the path.
Reference Hint
Open Sheet C-264; locate the named site feature and use only the dimensions or scale bar shown for that feature.
