In a closed traverse, if north latitude sums exceed south latitude sums and west departure sums exceed east departure sums, the closing line bearing lies within the________________?
Show answer Hide answer
Answer: B. SE quadrant
Explanation
When north latitudes exceed south latitudes and west departures exceed east departures, the closing line must lie in the southeast quadrant to balance the sums.

Radiation is a plane table method where details are plotted by drawing radial rays. The alidade sights various points from a single instrument station location. This technique works best when mapping small areas from a c...
Q2. During straight-line chaining operations, the leader holds 4 arrows while the follower retains 6. The follower's distance from the origin is_____________?
Show answer Hide answer
Answer: B. 6 chains
The follower holds 6 arrows at the time of observation, indicating the number of full chains measured. Each arrow held by the follower corresponds directly to one complete chain length of 20 meters. Multiplying the 6 arr...
Q3. If tripod sinking occurs between taking a backsight and the subsequent foresight, the resulting elevation for the turning point will_________________?
Show answer Hide answer
Answer: A. increase
Tripod sinking lowers the instrument height between backsight and foresight readings. A lower instrument height makes foresight rod readings appear artificially smaller. Smaller foresight subtractions result in an overes...
Q4. Given an objective glass focal length of 25 cm and a distance of 15 cm from the objective glass to the trunnion axis, the calculated additive constant is_______________?
Show answer Hide answer
Answer: B. 0.4
The additive constant of a tacheometer is calculated using the focal length and lens-to-trunnion distance. With a focal length of 25 cm and a trunnion distance of 15 cm, the mathematical formula yields 0.4. Tacheometric...
Q5. When a tacheometer reading yields a 0.75 m intercept on a vertical staff, the horizontal span between instrument and staff station is________________?
Show answer Hide answer
Answer: D. 75 m
Horizontal distance in tacheometry equals staff intercept multiplied by the multiplying constant. Multiplying the zero point seven five meter intercept by one hundred gives seventy-five meters. The standard multiplying c...
Q6. Horizontal distances derived via thermometric measurements_________________?
