Establish the triangulation stations at designated places on the area assigned to

be surveyed. Call these stations A, B, C and so forth. Use chalk to mark these
stations. (See figure below)
Designate lines AB and DE as the base line and check base respectively.
Measure precisely each length in two trials and record the mean measurement

s: Set up and orient the transit/ Auto Level at A then, determine the bearing of AB.
At station A, measure in four repetitions each relevant horizontal angle and
record the observed values accordingly.
Repeat the preceding procedure of setting up the instrument and measuring
horizontal angles at all other designated triangulation stations.
Computations:

Tabulate observed and calculate values accordingly.

Conclusion:

Finally, we complete the triangulation by collecting the data utilizing

Automatic level, prism, and range poles, and we can determine the
distance between each point by computing the balance angles that we
acquire from each point. By doing so, we are able to determine the time
for a low order triangulation made up of a series of single triangles. We
can also figure out how to use a rough technique of altering the numbers
on a triangulation system, which will be useful in figuring out how long its
unknown sides are.
