Best Answer

A Surveyors Transit, a Protractor and a Brunton Compass are used for measuring angles for actual field work. Most commonly the first two are used because a Brunton Compass is not particularly easy to get your hands on. You can get one from a local geologist, but it can be difficult if you are new to the business or do not know the geoligist personally or know someone that does. This being said it is not imposible, but it is just harder. The Brunton Compass is easier and faster to use but it does not give quite as accurate of a measurement as a Surveyors Transit and a Protractor.

What are facts or more relevant to geometrical angles?

1 Angles are measured in degrees, minutes and seconds 2 Angles are measured with a protractor 3 Angles can be constructed with a compass and a straight edge 4 Angles around a point add up to 360 degrees 5 Angles on a straight line add up to 180 degrees 6 Angles that are complementary add up to 90 degrees 7 Angles that are supplementary add up to 180 degrees 8 Angles that are corresponding are equal in size 9 Angles that are alternating are equal in size 10 Angles exterior to any polygon add up to 360 degrees 11 Angles within a polygon are the product of (number of sides-2)*180 12 Angles of depression and elevation help measure distances and heights 13 Angles that are acute are greater than 0 but less than 90 degrees 14 Angles that measure 90 degrees are right angles 15 Angles that are obtuse are greater than 90 but less than 180 degrees 16 Angles that are reflex are greater than 180 degrees 17 Angles are used in trigonometry which means triangle measurements 18 Angles can be the tangent ratio of right angle triangles 19 Angles can be the cosine ratio of righht angle triangles 20 Angles can be the sine ratio of right angle triangles 21 Angles can be measured by shadows caused by the Sun


Is possible for congruent angles to add up to 90?

Only if the are angle between two rays or an angle caused by three points. Both angle would also have to be exactly 45 degrees.

How do you overcome random error and systematic error?

Random error can be inherent to the system being studied or to the instruments being used to measure characteristics of the system. Sometimes it is possible to find or create measuring instruments that produce results with less random error; sometimes not. Statistical methods can often be employed to estimate actual values shorn of random error. If it not too expensive to obtain individual measurements then it's advisable to gather more measurements so that the statistical methods will produce better results. Systematic errors are often reduced by looking for their sources and eliminating them or by estimating the levels of distortion caused by each of them and correcting measurements accordingly.

How can a gun have a misfire?

It depends on what you mean. If you mean an actual misfire, that is caused when the primer does not ignite. That is normally caused by a firing pin problem, or by a bad primer.
