Then use the theodolite to measure the top of the thing you're getting the height for. The string will point out the protractor angle needed for the calculations.Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986529278507540075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2751903814574246268.post-54031315965796414942011-08-27T11:52:39.847-04:002011-08-27T11:52:39.847-04:00should we stand at the baseline and measure the an...should we stand at the baseline and measure the angle from there itself? But if we do so, the angle measure will surely come as 0 degree. No use of protractor! please help me...i'm confused!shruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05760770763999943764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2751903814574246268.post-89886493048057123812011-08-27T10:37:24.654-04:002011-08-27T10:37:24.654-04:00homemade theodolites are not for precise measureme...homemade theodolites are not for precise measurements.
