Introduction:
Three-point resection is a form of triangulation. This method
of determining the location of an instrument by measuring the
horizontal angles between three stations of known position and
location may be used in areas where existing control points cannot
be occupied or when the work does not warrant the time and cost of
occupying each station. Triangulation of this type should be
considered Fourth-Order, although Third-Order accuracy can be
obtained if a strong triangular figure is used and the angles are
accurately measured.
II.
Objective(s):
1. To determine analytically the position of an instrument
station by measuring the horizontal angles between
three stations of known position and location.
III.
IV.
Procedure:
1. From the unknown position of point P (instrument station),
the three designated control points whose positions (X & Y
Coordinates) are known were identified on the ground.
These stations were called A, B, and C. These stations were

Conclusion:
Therefore, the position of an instrument station was determined
by measuring the horizontal angles between three stations of known
position and location. The coordinates of the station P is (20091.1658
m, 27552.1291 m).
