The document provides the elevation of points A and B, the slope measurement between them, and asks to calculate the horizontal distance between the points. It gives the elevations as 424.25m for A and 459.06m for B, with a slope of 545.38m between them. Using the formula for horizontal distance given the slope and difference in elevation, it calculates the horizontal distance between the points as 544.27m.

7. SLOPE MEASUREMENT. A slope measurement of 545.

38 m is made
between points A and B. The elevation of A is 424.25 m and that of B is 459.06
m. Determine the horizontal distance between the two points.

Given:

Elevation of A = 424.25 m Elevation of B = 459.06 m

Slope Measurement = 545.38 m

Required:

The horizontal distance between the two points, L

Illustration:

545.38m

424.25m 459.06m

Solution:

𝐷𝐸 = 𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑣. 𝐵 – 𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑣. 𝐴. 𝐿 = √𝑠 2 − 𝐷𝐸 2

𝐷𝐸 = 459.06 𝑚 − 424.25 𝑚 𝐿 = √545.382 − 34.512

𝐷𝐸 = 34.81 𝑚 𝑳 = 𝟓𝟒𝟒. 𝟐𝟕 𝒎
