This is our first of many (?) challenges to the surveying community, especially the younger ones. Below is a question from a Trig-Star test. If you are up to the challenge, see if you can solve the question.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

RULES: You may not<\/strong> use any CAD or Graphic program\/app. You may use paper and pencil, calculator and even a spreadsheet. Do not get online to A) find the answers 2) find a site that will solve for the answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First person who submits the correct answers (all must be correct) to the Central Coast email: central.coast.clsa@gmail.com<\/a> will win the following prize: (to be determined, but it will be amazing!!<\/em>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the event of a tie, the submitted answer that best explains how the problem was solved will win. The determination by the judge is final. No chapter officers may participate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For your assistance here is the formula sheet given to the participants: Formula Sheet<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Distances to the nearest hundredth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution will be posted once we have a winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
