FS Exam Practice Questions | Fundamentals of Surveying Question #5

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s a giant paper clip! Rise-over-run is a fundamental math concept that we all learned in high school. Since the FS is becoming a glorified math exam, knowing how to compute R-over-R is important. Can you overcome an internal bias for large objects (a satellite in the sky), compare your answer choices objectively, and choose the correct response? Let’s see…

Practice Question:

Which object described will subtend the greatest angle at your eye?

Answer Choices

A) A 32 ft. flagpole that is 275 ft. away

B) A 2 in. paper clip that is 11 in. away

C) A Satellite that is 13 miles high and 900 km above the earth

D) A 375 ft. tall office building that is 9 miles away
