Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
By listing the types of measurements that form the basis of traditional plane surveying.
Answer to Problem 2.1P
Horizontal angles, Horizontal distances, Vertical angles, Vertical distances, and Slope distances.
Explanation of Solution
The measurements forming the basis of traditional plane surveying are as follows:
- Horizontal angles
- Horizontal distances
- Vertical angles also treated as altitude or zenith
- Vertical distances
- Slope distances
Conclusion:
The measurements forming the basis of traditional plane surveying are: Horizontal angles, Horizontal distances, Vertical angles, Vertical distances, and Slope distances.
