Slope distances XY and YZ measures 512.05 m and 493.84 m respectively. The differences in elevation are 14.88m for points X and Y, and 12.90 m for points Y and Z. Using the approximate slope correction formula for gentle slopes, determine the horizontal length of line XYZ. Assume that line XY has a rising slope and YZ a falling slope. Draw the figure showing the elevation of points of XY and YZ.

6. Slope distances XY and YZ measures 512.05 m and 493.84 m respectively. The differences in elevation
are 14.88m for points X and Y, and 12.90 m for points Y and Z. Using the approximate slope correction
formula for gentle slopes, determine the horizontal length of line XYZ. Assume that line XY has a rising
slope and YZ a falling slope. Draw the figure showing the elevation of points of XY and YZ.
