Elementary Surveying:

Measurement of Horizontal Distances, show proper and right solution.

1. A line AC cannot be measured directly because of an obstruction on the
line. Accordingly, the two lines AB and BC were measured as 2,357.90m
and 1,846.00m, respectively. Point B was set at a perpendicular distance
of 225m from point D on line AC. Using the approximate slope correction
formula for steep slopes, determine the length of line AC. Illustrate.
