The slope measurement between two points is 36.255 m and the slope angle is 1° 50'. Compute the horizontal distance.

When surveyors measure land that slopes significantly, the slant distance they measure is longer than the horizontal distance they must draw on the map. Suppose that the distance from the top edge of the Cibolo Creck bed to the edge of the water is $37.8 \mathrm{m}$ (Figure $2-51$ ). The land slopes downward at an angle of $27.6^{\circ}$ to the horizontal. a. What is the horizontal distance from the top of the creek bed to the edge of the creek? b. How far below the level of the surrounding land is the surface of the water in the creek?
