A total station is set up over a point (2,703.521 mE, 1,481.345 mN, 1,951.418 m) with an instrument height of 1.53 m The total station observes a target/reflector with a height 1.629 m. Calculate the elevation of the point occupied by the target (m) (to three decimal places) if the following site observations were recorded; = 84.044 and slope distance = 75.117 m.
A surveyor conducts trigonometric leveling to determine the elevation of a target point P based on the elevation of a BM (given as 100.00 ft). The surveyor installs the total station at BM and reflector at target point P. Total station instrument height is measured to be 3.50 ft and the reflector height is read to be 6.00 ft. The vertical distance (VD) read from the total station is 2.748 ft. What is the elevation at P based on the above given conditions? a) 94.752 ft b) 99.752 ft c) 100.248 ft d) 105.248 ft
The slope distance and zenith angle observed from point X to point Y were 1501.85 ft. and 86°27'15". The instrument and rod target heights were equal.

TRIGONOMETRIC LEVELING. A vertical angle of -12°25' is measured to the top of a water tank from an instrument set up on a hill 585.00 meters away from it. The telescope of the instrument is 1.45 m above the ground whose elevation is 462.73 m. Making due allowance for the earth's curvature and atmospheric refraction, determine the elevation of the base of the water tank is the tank is 32.0 m high.
