PACING A DISTANCE

Date Performed : ________________


Date Due : ________________
Date Submitted : ________________

Objective:
To learn the individual pace factor and to become familiar with the measurement of
distance by pacing.

Location:

A
LINE 1

LINE 2

D
Instruments needed:

1 range pole
1 steel/plastic tape

Procedure:

A. To determine the individual pace factor.


1. Lay an 80 m line (Line 1) distance on the ground and mark the ground.
2. Starting from the first point count the number of paces by walking with natural
steps up to the other point.
3. Repeat no. 2 up to 10 times.
4. Compute the average of the 10 pacing.
5. The pace factor is determined by dividing 80 m by the computed average
pacing.

B. To measure distance by pacing.


1. Draw Line 2 as indicated on the map, with an unknown length. Mark the
beginning and the end of Line 2.
2. Starting from the initial point count the number of paces by walking from one
end to another end of Line 2.
3. Repeat no. 2 up to 5 times.
4. Compute the average of the 5 pacings.
5. Multiply the average pacing by the pace factor, computed in Letter A. The
product is the distance between the two points.
6. Record the data on the provided space.
7. Measure the distance of Line 2 (TP) and compute the Relative Precision of your
pace factor using the given formula.

Tabulation and Computation of Data:

A. To determine the individual pace factor.
