5. The slope of a piece of road is 2 vertical to 21 horizontal ; what 
is the inclination of the road to the horizon in degrees, minutes, and 
seconds ? 
6. A line A E is marked on the ground by pickets ; there is a point 
P on the ground, but inaccessible ; explain how to find the point in 
which a perpendicular drawn from P to A B meets A B. 
7. The distance from A to B is 770 ft. ; that from A to Q is 
1620 ft. ; the angle P A Q is 42° 20' ; determine [a) by construction, 
{h) by calculation ; the length of P Q, and the length of the perpen- 
dicular let fall from A on P Q. 
8. The distance between two points on the ground is known to be 
It miles ; on a map they are found to be 13^ in. apart ; construct, 
to suit the map, a scale by which all distances from 10 yds. to 1000 
yds. can be read. Draw by means of the scale a line to represent a 
quarter of a mile. 
9. Draw a straight line to represent the plan of a road that has to 
be made, and mark on it in order A, B, C, D such that A B, B 0, C D 
are 237-5 ft., 50 ft., 350 ft. respectively. The section of the ground 
made by a vertical plane through A D, is A P Q R, such that P is 
50 ft. above B, Q is 20 ft. below C, and R is 30 ft. above D ; the 
earth has to be moved in such a manner that the road may run at 
a uniform slope from A up to X a point vertically over C, and then 
at another uniform slope from X up to E ; find the height of X 
above C, and the slopes of the road from A to X and from X to E.
