Two points, A and B, are 3143.50 meters apart. From a Third Point , C, an instrument is set up on the line between A and B, and 1299.25 meters from A, the measured vertical angle to A is -35° 28' and that to B is -15° 14'. Determine the difference in elevation between A and B making due allowance for the effects of curvature and atmospheric refraction. Express answer in 3 decimal places and in meter.
The observe interior angles of the triangle are A= 35°14'37'', B= 96°30'09'', and C= 48°15'05''. Determine the discrepancy for the given observation and the most probable value of each angle.
To find the elevation of the top of a hill, a flag staff of 3m height was erected with its top at Q. Observations were made from two stations A and B, 50m apart and not in line with Q. the angles of elevation to the top of the flag staff from the stations A and B were measured as, respectively, 11°40' and 12°17'. The horizontal angle measured at A between B and the top of the flag staff was 55°30' and that measured at B between A and the top of the flag staff was 60°15'. If the staff reading on B.M. with an elevation of 345.450 when the instrument was at A and the line of sight was horizontal was 1.855m, calculate the elevation of the top of the hill. Also check the result if the staff reading on B.M. when the instrument was at B was 1.846m.

Jr, a civil engineer was to estimate the height of a transmission tower (G). He performed trigonometric leveling from 3 stations E, Y&A, using slope distances and vertical angles. The survey data are as follows: SEG = 678.56; aEG= 5°30' Syg = 555.31; ayg= 3°10' SAG = 900.31; Elevations of stations above the MSL datum a s= 2°45' H = 253.31 ft. Hy= 287.64 ft. H= 275.11 ft. Compute the elevation at the top of the cell tower from pt. A Select the correct response: 253.32 ft 318.31 ft. 320.36 ft 412.33 ft
