Case 1:
Base of the Object is Accessible
Case 2:
Base of the Object Inaccessible: Instrument stations in
the same vertical plane as the elevated object
Case 3:
Base of the Object Inaccessible: Instrument stations not
in the same vertical plane as the elevated object

To find the elevation of the top (Q) of the hill, a flag staff of 2m
height was installed and observations were made from two
stations P and R, 60m apart. The horizontal angle measured at
P between R and the top of the flag staff was 60 0 30 and that
measured at R between the top of the flag staff and P was 68 0
18. The angle of elevation to the top of the flag staff P was
measured to be 100 12 at P. The angle of elevation to the top of
the flag staff was measured to be 100 48 at R. Staff readings on
BM when the instrument was at P is 1.965m and that with the
instrument at R is 2.055m. Calculate the elevation of the top of
the hill if that of BM was 435.065m.
