1. A topographic map has a contour interval of 1/2m and a scale of 1:1200. If two adjacent contours are 25mm apart on the map, the average slope (in grads) of the ground between the contours is 2. On a map the distance between the end points of a line AB (assumed to be of uniform slope) is 10.8cm. If the elevation of points A and B are 1809.5 and 1831.8, respectively, it can be analytically determined that the contour line with an elevation of 1815 meters will cross line AB from point A. 3. On problem 2, the contour line with an elevation of 1820 meters will cross line AB from point A.
