Determine the prism constant

Reference no: EM13548171

To verify the constant of a particular prism, a straight line EFG is laid out. The EDM instrument is first set up at E, with the following measurements recorded: EG = 426.224 m, EF = 277.301 m. The EDM instrument is then set up at F, where distance FG is recorded as 148.953 m. Determine the prism constant.
