A) The difference in elevation between two ground points, A and B, is 42.50 m, and the horizontal distance between the two points is 125.50 m. Determine the slope between the points in gradient and grads. (B) The map distance between two benchmarks, A and B, is 20 cm and their elevations above sea level are 550.50 m and 697.50 m, respectively. Assuming uniformity of slope between A and B, calculate the map distance from A (in cm) where each of the following contours will cross the line between the two bench marks: 570 and 590m.
