1. Compute Heights of Instrument and Elevations.  2. Check the accuracy of the arithmetical computations, add all backsights as well as all the foresights. The difference between these two sums must be equal to the difference in elevation between BM1 and BM2. Please refer to image and data provided.

Question

1. Compute Heights of Instrument and Elevations. 
2. Check the accuracy of the arithmetical computations, add all backsights as well as all the foresights. The difference between these two sums must be equal to the difference in elevation between BM1 and BM2.

Please refer to image and data provided. 

1.) Backsights:
• BMa = 1.81 m
• TP1 = 1.98 m
• TP2 = 2.06 m
• TP3 = 1.77 m
• TP4 = 1.89 m
• TP5 = 1.56 m
• TP6 = 1.48 m
• TP7 = 1.13 m
• TP8 = 1.63 m
• TP9 = 1.95 m
• TP10 = 2.00 m
2.) Foresights:
• TP1 = 1.51 m
• TP2 = 1.16 m
• TP3 = 1.58 m
• TP4 = 1.42 m
• TP5 = 1.54 m
• TP6 = 1.51 m
TP7 = 1.71 m
• TP8 = 1.32 m
• TP9 = 1.40 m
• TP10 = 1.23 m
• BMb = 1.18 m
