There are various kinds of surveying, but. they are all based on a method known as "triangula-tiori- ". When you study geometry you! will learn that if you know one side and twb angles of any triangle (or two sides and one angle), you can find out the rest of its measurements.

Now you select a third landmark, and make this;: the apex of the triangle. You now measure the angles it makes with each end of 'the first line you measured. You now have the requirement for measuring the area of the triangle as described above (one side, and two, angles of a triangle). The instrument for measuring! those angles is called a transit. Now that you have the area, of one triangle, you keep on dividing the land to be measured into; triangles untill you have the area of the entire piece of land. : The transit doesn't just work horizontally, it also works verti cally. This is called "leveling,"'. because there is a spirit level! at the base of the instrument which indicates when it is level. By raising the sight to any land mark on the mountains, the same; process of measuring, angles can be done and the length of one side (the height) can be meas. ured! . FUN TIME The Chuckle Bex 1.

When not one of these hardy volunteers showed any evidence of skin inflammation, Dr. Baer ventured' the - folllowing conclu' sions: "j 1.
