Question 2

Surveying measurements

Answer 2

Includes horizontal angles, vertical angles, and distances (horizontal, slope, vertical).

Question 3

Scales

Answer 3

Ratio between the drawing of an object and the actual object, expressed in words, drawn scale, or fraction (e.g. 1cm represents 2m, 1:200).

Question 4

Azimuth

Answer 4

A horizontal angle that always measures clockwise from North, used to indicate a direction.

Question 5

Bearing

Answer 5

Angular measurement with a range of 0° ≤ Bearing < 90°.

Question 6

Quadrant I Azimuth

Answer 6

Azimuth = theta.

Question 7

Quadrant II Azimuth

Answer 7

Azimuth = 180° - theta.

Question 8

Quadrant III Azimuth

Answer 8

Azimuth = 180° + theta.

Question 9

Quadrant IV Azimuth

Answer 9

Azimuth = 360° - theta.

Question 10

Trilateration

Answer 10

The determination of a point’s position using measured distances to that point from at least three known points.

Question 11

Triangulation

Answer 11

The determination of a point’s position using measured angles from at least two other known points.

Question 12

Temperature Correction

Answer 12

Correction applied to tape measurements due to temperature differences, calculated as Correction = α * L * (t - ts).

Question 13

Coefficient of Linear Expansion (α)

Answer 13

A constant that represents how much a material expands per degree of temperature increase.

Question 14

Surveying

Answer 14

The process of measuring distances, angles, and positions to determine the location of points on the earth’s surface.
