Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A surveyor repeatedly takes angle measurements from 90 degrees, 270 degrees, and others, averaging them to find the true angle. Explain how circle graduation error complicates this process and suggest ways to address it.

💡 Hint: Consider the changes that technology brought into surveying.

Question 2

Explain how advances in measurement technologies, such as software calibration and the use of high-precision instruments, align with the reduction of circle graduation error.

💡 Hint: Think about how modern tools interact with traditional surveying methods.
