A tacheometer records a staff intercept of 0.75m with an angle of elevation at 10 degrees. Calculate the horizontal distance.
💡 Hint: Make sure to convert the angle to radians if necessary for your calculator.
If the K value was mistakenly set to 150 instead of 100, and the staff intercept is 0.6m, what would be the new calculated distance?
