Explanation Given: A building in the shape of an L must be staked. Corners A B C D E F A B = 80 f t B C = 30 f t C D = 40 f t D E = 40 f t E F = 40 f t F A = 70 f t Concept Used: This is one more method of layout of buildings, is to stake two points on the buiding, one of them with the total station instrument, take a back sight on the other and stack all of the remaining points from that setup using precalculated angles and distances. Calculation: To calculate the diagonal A C by using formula, A C = A B 2 + B C 2 A C = 80 2 + 30 2 A C = 85.44 f t To calculate the diagonal A D by using formula, A D = E F 2 + B C 2 A D = 40 2 + 30 2 A D = 50 f t To calculate the diagonal A E by using formula, A E = A F 2 + E F 2 A E = 70 2 + 40 2 A E = 80.62 f t To calculate the diagonal F B by using formula, F B = A B 2 + A F 2 F B = 80 2 + 70 2 F B = 106
