1. With the transit positioned at Station A, which has an elevation of 47.155 m and with an instrument height (hi) of 1.310 m, measurements were taken on a ground position X. A stadia intercept of 0.492 m and a vertical angle of -2°23'30" were obtained. Calculate the inclined and horizontal distance from Station A-to X and the elevation of X. What is the slope of the line AX in %? State your assumptions if any.
