A stadia interval of 1.325 m is observed on a stadia rod held over a turning point using an engineer's transit with a stadia interval factor of 98.5 and a stadia constant of 0.300 m. The elevation of the instrument station is 379.246 m and the height of instrument above the station is 1.245 m. If the rod reading is 1.649 m and the vertical angle observed is - 15°17', determine the horizontal, vertical, and inclined distances by exact stadia formulas. Also, determine the difference in elevation between the turning point and the instrument station
