Q1/ State whether the following statements are true or false (choose five only). 1. There are two types of theodolite only. 2. Errors in reading angles by using directional theodolite are small in the comparison with other types. 3. The directional theodolite are reading and recording the horizontal and vertical angles automatically. 4. There are two methods of measuring horizontal angles only. 5. A vertical angle is an angle between the inclined line of sight and the horizontal. 6. The term "meridian" comes from the Latin meridies, meaning midday. 7. True Meridian defined by a freely suspended magnetic needle that is only influenced by the earth's magnetic field.
