Question

Transcribed Image Text:From the two inaccessible but intervisible points A and B, the angles to two triangulation
stations C and D were observed as follows. Line CD has a distance of 500m long. Compute the distance
of the line AB.

Hint:
Assume AB =1 unit and solve for CD. By ratio and proportion between AB and CD gives the actual value
of AB in meters.
