For a profile given in the figure in the form of three steps A, B and C, the following information is available:
Height of step A ( ) with respect to a reference line = 10 m (known and error free)
Difference in height between step A and step B ( ) = 5 m 2 mm
Difference in height between step B and step C ( ) = 8 m 3 mm
and are the unknown heights of step B and C, respectively. The step B is higher than step C and D.
The coefficient of correlation, , between the height differences = 0.25
The coefficient of correlation between estimated heights of points B and C ( ) will be ............................. (Rounded off to 2 decimal places).

As shown in the following figure, let denote three uncorrelated clockwise directions, observed at point with equal standard errors for each direction, i.e., . Let and be two included angles formed by these three directions. The covariance matrix (in arcsecond ) for these included angles will be given as:

Here, the covariance matrix would typically be presented in a LaTeX format, but for now we are using a placeholder.
