Answer:

the correct distance is 202 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the correct distance is shown below:

But before that correction to be applied should be determined

= (101 ft - 100 ft) ÷ (100 ft) × 200 ft

= 2 ft

Now the correct distance is

= 200 ft + 2 ft

= 202 ft

Hence, the correct distance is 202 ft

The same would be relevant and considered too
