Imagine that you are the engineer responsible for the tacheometric survey of an area where a public park will be built. While surveying, you found a cliff that needs to be detailed mapped.

Using a tacheometer, the following readings were obtained:
Data:
Zenith angle (z): 45°
Reading on stadimetric wires:
High wire: 1.485 m
Medium yarn: 1,000 m
Low wire:0.948 m
Instrument height: 1.50m
Height of observed point: 0 m

Calculate the horizontal distance from the observed point and the height of the cliff in relation to the instrument position.

∆d = 100. (A-B). cos²z
∆h = Dx tan(z)+ (hm+hi-hv)

- Give preference to make the resolution editable, handwriting hinders understanding.
