Laser distance meters are accurate to ⅛ or even 1/16 of an inch, while measuring wheels are only accurate to within 3 inches per 100 feet. You must properly calibrate an LDM and place targets or roll a wheel as directed to obtain accurate measurements for use in calculations.
When you use a
measuring wheel to determine the length of each side of the perimeter or diameter of an area, you can obtain relatively accurate values for use in calculating the square footage of any area.
