1.​Explain how you will set-out the following:
​i.​Two corners of a rectangular building using two tapes.
​ii.​A point that is perpendicular to a straight line using two tape.
2.​Two straight lines AI and IB, which have bearings S 80o E and S 10o W respectively were used to fix the IP of a road and are to be joined by a curve of radius 250 m. The chainage at the intersection point I is 1000.000m. Calculate the following:
i.​Tangent length.​ii.​Through chainage at the start of the curve
iii.​Length of curve​iv.​Through chainage at the end of the curve
v.​Initial sub chord​vi.​Final sub chord
3.​Compute the volume of material required to construct the embankment of a road using the following data:
Chainage (m)
