Question

Survey.,civil.,

An Engineer measured the distance between two locations on a plan having a scale
of 1 cm = 50 m as 600 m. Later, however, he found that he used a wrong scale of 1
cm = 30 m to measure the distance. The true distance between the locations is:

Determining the relative position of points on the Earth's surface and measuring the angle and distance between them in order to calculate the required parameters such as elevation and enclosed area.
