Answer:
1856.37 m
Step-by-step explanation:
When the tapes were taken as 30.0 m long, the measured distance was 1858.23 m. This is equivalent to [tex]\dfrac{1858.23}{30}=61.941[/tex] tapes.
With the correct tape length now 29.97 m, the measured distance is
[tex]29.97\times61.941 \text{ m} = 1856.37177 \text{ m} = 1856.37 \text{ m} [/tex] to 2 decimal places.
