Which of the following is not a benefit of a state plane coordinate system to surveyors and engineers?

A single reference system is provided for all surveys in an area.
Significant errors are not introduced when using plane survey techniques and calculations over large areas.
A method for determining vertical coordinates of a point.
Survey work can be retraced when performed on a state coordinate system.

Explanation

Answer: C - The statement “a method for determining vertical coordinates of a point” is not a benefit of using a state plane coordinate system to surveyors and engineers. State coordinate systems provide a method for determining plane coordinates (northing and easting) of a point from its geodetic coordinates (latitude and longitude). All the other statements are benefits of utilizing state plane coordinate systems.
