A sloping distance is measured with a 30-m steel tape. The measurements made are 30.00 m on a 7 degrees’ slope, 26.37 m on a 15 degrees’ slope and 29.50 m on a 1:2 ½ slope (V:H). What is the total horizontal distance in meter? (use the approximate slope correction formula for gentle slopes).

State Plane Coordinate Systems

The state plane coordinate system (SPCS or SPS) is a collection of 124 coordinate systems or geographic zones prepared for particular regions of the U.S. Every state consists of one or more than one state plane zone, the boundaries of which generally follow the county lines. Inside the U.S., there are 110 zones in total, 10 more zones in Alaska, 5 in Hawaii, and 1 for Puerto Rico and US Virgin islands. The system is extensively used for geospatial and geographic data assembling by the state and local governments.
