The document describes a traverse line measured in three sections with different slopes. It provides the length and slope of each section and asks to calculate the total horizontal length of the line. The solution shows calculating the horizontal length of each section using trigonometry and summing the results to find the total horizontal length is 813.898 meters.

6. SLOPE MEASUREMENT.

A traverse line was measured in three sections:


295.85 m at slope 8° 45’, 149.58 m at slope 4° 29’, and 373.48 m at slope 4°
25’.Determine the horizontal length of the line.

Given:

295.85 m at slope 8° 45’ 149.58 m at slope 4° 29’

373.48 m at slope 4° 25’

Required:

The horizontal length of the line, LT

Illustration:

373.48 m
4° 25’
149.58 m
295.85 m 4° 29’
8° 45’

Solution:

L1 = 295.85𝑐𝑜𝑠(8° 45’) L2 = 149.58𝑐𝑜𝑠(4° 29’)

L1 = 292.407 𝑚 L2 = 149.122 𝑚

L3 = 373.48 𝑐𝑜𝑠(4° 25’) LT =292.407 𝑚 + 149.122 𝑚 +


372.371 𝑚

L3 = 372.371 𝑚 LT =𝟖𝟏𝟑. 𝟖𝟗𝟖 𝒎
