6. Slope distances XY and YZ measures 512.05 m and 493.84 m respectively. The differences in elevationare 14.88m for points X and Y, and 12.90 m for points Y and Z. Using the approximate slope correctionformula for gentle slopes, determine the horizontal length of line XYZ. Assume that line XY has a risingslope and YZ a falling slope. Draw the figure showing the elevation of points of XY and YZ.

The length of the given line XY and YZ are the sloping distance of the given line. The correction…
