It is read off the azimuth scale, possibly magnified with a so-called microscope. say, 32 degrees, ll minutes. finer degrees of reading-out are possible with some types. This type of theodolite operation is not too different in principle than taking bearings on objects with a magnetic compass, and reading off the direction in degrees.

What is the angle between the ramp and the horizontal?
The angle of inclination.
Explain what the measure of an angle is?
the measure of an angle is the degrees of an angle.
What is the measure of the supplementary angle of an interior angle?
The measure of the exterior angle.
Find the measure of angle and if the measure of angle abc60 the measure of angle and is represented by 5x 7 and the measure of angle dbc is represented by 9x-3?
No cheating!
When 15 is subtracted from the measure of an angle the result is the measure of a right angle what is the measure of the original angle?
15
What are the permanent adjustments of a theodolite?
Most theodolites have no "permanent" adjustments, since they are used to measure angles, both horizontal and vertical.
How were theodolites useful in old times?
In surveying they were used to measure horizontal and vertical angles. They were basically a small telescope mounted on a tripod
What are theodolites used to measure?
They are surveying instruments used to measure angles.
How do you measure disc angle of a disc plow?
Disc angle has main two angle : 1. Vertical angle 2. Horizontal angle
What is tacheometric surveying?
the special type of theodolite used to measure horizontal and vertical distance and horizontal angle.
What is a horizontal angle?
A horizontal angle is an angle between lines on a horizontal plane.
What is horizontal as opposed to at an angle?
this is horizontal: ---------------------------- / / this is at an angle: / / /
What does slope determine?
Slope is the angle compared with the horizontal, where the horizontal is 90° to the vertical, which can be measured with a plumb line. So, put a weight on a string, measure the angle of the string to the angle you are measuring, subtract 90° and that will give you the slope.
What angle has the same horizontal displacment as 20 degrees?
20 degrees is a measure of angular displacement. This cannot be converted to lateral (horizontal) displacement.
How do you work out angles with only numbers. for example im trying to make a 30 degree angle with only a straight ruler is it possible for me to work a height and apply the angle?
For certain angles, the answer is yes. For 30o to the horizontal (in the positive x direction), you need to measure the horizontal distance to be twice the vertical distance. For example, draw a triangle with a base length of 10cm and, at a right angle to the base, measure a height of 5cm. The angle to the horizontal (the smaller angle) will be 30o. (The opposite is true for the angle of 60o).
How did the government measure mount Everest in 1852?
During Great Trigonometric Survey they used theodolites to measure Mount Everest.
The angle formed by a horizontal line?
The angle formed by a horizontal line is 180o.
