A. pure mathematics and the social sciences
B. applied mathematics and the use of specialized equipment and techniques
C. field observations and measurements
D. cartographic, geodetic, and photogrammetric methods
E. principles of algebra and geometry

2. Plane surveying is that type of surveying in which the earth is considered to be a flat surface.
Distances and areas involved are of limited extent and the
A. approximate shape of the earth is considered
B. theoretical shape of the geoid is evaluated
C. exact shape of the earth Is disregarded
D. spheroidal shape of the earth is considered
E. shape of the earth is considered a geoid

3. A type of survey which is of wide extent and takes into account the spheroidal shape of the
earth is known as
A. geodetic surveying
B. plane surveying
C. geoid surveying
D. earth surveying
E. terrestrial surveying

4. A photogrammetric survey makes use of photographs taken with specially designed cameras
either from
A. a ship or an elevated ground station
B. the ground surface or underwater
C. a field or a laboratory environment
D. a map or a scaled drawing
E. airplanes or ground stations
5. The international System of Units or SI was promulgated by the International Bureau of weights
and Measures in
A. 1960
B. 1978
C. 1983
D. 1875
E. 1799

6. Give the importance of a survey party. Is there really a need to have a complete party in all
surveying activities? Explain

Indeed! Having a complete party in all surveying activities is important, because every
person in the party has their own specific work. This helps to fasten the phase of surveying and to
avoid burden and confusion.
