What is a back sight and why is it important?
A reading taken on a point of known elevation to determine the new elevation based on the back sight.
A reading taken on a point of unknown elevation to calculate elevation changes.
A reading taken on a point of known elevation to establish the starting point for measurements.
A reading taken on a point of unknown elevation to establish reference points.
How do you take a fore sight reading?
By recording the reading on the rod where the crosshairs intersect.
By aligning the instrument with the measuring rod at a point with a known elevation.
By setting up the leveling instrument on the tripod.
By positioning the measuring rod at a new point and aligning the instrument with it.
If the back sight reading is 1.200 meters and the known elevation is 150.000 meters, how do you determine the elevation at the fore sight if it reads 1.500 meters?
148.800 meters
150.300 meters
149.700 meters
149.500 meters
