Correction to be Subtracted from Slope Distance given difference in Elevation Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Correction to be Subtracted = (Difference in Elevation)^2/(2*Measured Length)
C = (ΔH)^2/(2*s)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Correction to be Subtracted - (Measured in Meter) - Correction to be Subtracted is a value that needs to be subtracted from a measured quantity to obtain a more accurate result.
Difference in Elevation - (Measured in Meter) - Difference in elevation is the vertical distance between two points, indicating how high or low one point is relative to the other.
Measured Length - (Measured in Meter) - Measured Length is the length measured from steel tape during observation.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Difference in Elevation: 15 Meter --> 15 Meter No Conversion Required
Measured Length: 10.993 Meter --> 10.993 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

C = (ΔH)^2/(2*s) --> (15)^2/(2*10.993)

Evaluating ... ...

C = 10.2337851359956

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

10.2337851359956 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

10.2337851359956 ≈ 10.23379 Meter <-- Correction to be Subtracted
