Courtney Hines Ms. Chapline ITSC 1309 17 June 2011 Can You Find Me Now? How is a Nintendo Wii game console able to determine the location of a Wii Remote while a player interacts with a game? The answer is Triangulation‚ a process that determines the location of an object by measuring the angles from two of more fixed points. Surveyors often use triangulation to measure distance. Starting at a known location and elevation‚ surveyors measure a length to create a base line and then use a theodolite

7 | Conclusion | 13 | 1.0 INTRODUCTION Linear surveying such as traverse survey‚ representing the earth’s features in two dimensions on plan. To be practical value‚ however‚ the third dimension‚ namely the height of the feature‚ must be shown by some means on the plan. The heights (Reduced level or elevation) of the points are referred to some horizontal plane of reference called the datum (universally employed Mean sea level). In surveying‚ these heights are found by levelling. Levelling is

Greek surveying was in turn adapted and further developed and progressed to an even greater accomplishment by the Romans. Roman monuments stand to this day as a testament to the greatness of Roman society. Some of the most distinctive monuments are the roads and aqueducts. These structures are impressive in their design and functionality‚ some of which can still be used today. These monuments also stand as a testament to those who built them.
