Question

What is the elevation of hachure line A?

100 feet
50 feet
75 feet
125 feet

Because the incorrect answer was 100 feet (based on it being the first lower elevation than the last recorded elevation of 125 feet) And the question prior of What is the most likely elevation of X being 115 feet was also graded incorrect. Would the actual contour lines WITH the hachure lines ON THEM continue to elevate in C.I. 25 increments making the contour line that X is on, 150 feet and the contour line that A is on to be 175 feet? And then 125 feet would actually be the correct answer because it is the first lowest below 175 feet?

Answer 1

The answer is 125 because 100 was wrong and 115 is wrong to

Answer 2

The elevation of hachure line A is option A: 100 feet

The most likely elevation of point X is 115 Feet

The most likely elevation of point B is 80 Feet

Hachure lines are short, closely spaced lines drawn downhill that indicate a depression or sunken area. They are drawn in the direction of the steepest slope, with shorter, thicker lines indicating steeper slopes and longer, thinner lines indicating gentler slopes.

The elevation of hachure line A is 100 feet because it is the first hachure line below the contour line labeled 125 feet. Contour lines are lines of equal elevation, so the elevation of all points on a contour line is the same.
