A 1000 ft long earthen berm has a cross section with an area of 1500 ft² at one end and
2000 ft² at the other end, with area increasing at a constant rate. What is the
approximate volume of material in the berm? CORRECT ANSWERS V = l((A1 +A2)/2)
= (1000)((1500+2000)/2)
= 1,750,000 ft²
1,750,00 ft²/(27/1) = 64,815 yd³
Which of the following is the best definition of mean sea level? CORRECT ANSWERS
The average of all the water heights over a tidal epoch
On a topographic map, which of the following is correct? CORRECT ANSWERS
Contour lines crossing streams form V's that point upstream
What is the effect on the location of a coastal boundary when natural and gradual
changes occur to the shoreline? CORRECT ANSWERS The boundary changes with the
changing shoreline
(accretion or erosion)
Choose the correct option for the underlined words in the following sentence: "He
presented an explanation as to how temperature affects distance measurements and
what effect this has on the accuracy of the survey." CORRECT ANSWERS No change
is necessary

What is the product of matrices A and B?
A = [4 2] B=[1 5]
3 5 3 2 CORRECT ANSWERS AB = [ (4)(1) + (2)(3) (4)(5) + (2)(2)]

In a traverse with a total length of 2180.91 m, one course has a latitude of 380.00 m and
a departure of 0.00 m. The closure of the traverse in latitude is 0.042 m and in
departure is 0.145 m. What is the adjusted latitude and departure for that course if a
compass rule adjustment is used? CORRECT ANSWERS lat adj= = (course dist./total
dist.)(lat error)
=(380.00/2180.91)(0.042)
=0.007 m
depart adj = (course dist/total dist.)(depart erro)
= (380.00/2180.91)(0.145)
=0.025 m
380.00 - 0.007 = 379.993 (adj. lat)
What is the arc length of a horizontal curve with coordinates as shown and a radius of
1000.0 ft? All distances are in feet.

What is the length of a 100 ft steel tape with a cross-sectional area of 0.003 in² and a
modulus of elasticity of 30,000,000 lbf/in² that is standard at a tension of 10 llbf if it is
pulled at a tension of 20 lbf at standard temperature? CORRECT ANSWERS tape
length = 100 ft + 0.01 ft
= 100.01 ft
What is the length of side b in the illustrated triangle if the area is 43,560 ft²? CORRECT
ANSWERS 388.45
What is the station and offset of the southeast corner of the building shown? CORRECT
ANSWERS 12+98.35, 197.00 ft
What is the length of the illustrated circular highway curve if the radius is 2000 ft?
CORRECT ANSWERS 2234.02 ft
A retracement survey of a portion of a public land survey township results in the
coordinates shown. The distances in the illustration are those provided in the original
government survey, in chains. What are the correct coordinates, in feet, for the lost
