Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A surveyor sets up a Total Station at a height of 1.5 meters. During the survey, the measurements included angles of 45° to a target prism at a sloped distance of 100 meters. Calculate the horizontal distance to the prism.

💡 Hint: Remember the cosine function relates the angle to the adjacent side in a right triangle.

Question 2

Explain how incorrect leveling of the Total Station could affect the accuracy of measured angles and distances during a survey.

💡 Hint: Consider what happens to the angles measured if the instrument is tilted.
