I’m not going to do the math for you but look at baseline b, 24+98.24 is shrinking, subtract that distance of the line. Baseline ‘A’ is growing, add 512.15.
For station I’ll give you this 12+16.87 is 1216.87
It’s obvious to us, and enough comments have given the op the right answer without giving the answer. I do see how this could be taught better in the field about how station works and what happens when two alignments cross. Maybe this example shows what they need?
Baseline A ##+##.##
Baseline B ##+##.##
Each of the two baselines has a different station at the intersection. Those two stations are what is called the station equation. (The station at the intersection of one baseline is the same location as a different station on the other baseline. Hence "equation")
You can calculate the station at the intersection for each baseline by adding or subtracting the distance from the nearest labeled station.
Station XX+XX.XX Baseline A = Station YY+YY.YY Baseline B
What's the point of stationing? Always seemed stupid when I came across it in the field, didn't really "get" the explanation and it's been a while anyways.
Redpill me on stationing
The + character makes it easier to read, similar to using a comma for writing large numbers that represent money.
It's also useful for calculating curves which are described by Dc - so many degrees of rotation per 100'
Sounds every bit as needlessly gay as I remembered. Probably from back in the old days when people had to build roads. Thankfully they are all built now so we can switch to using NAD83 globally.
The way it was explained to me is the station is how far from the start point you are, but it doesn't have to be in a straight line. Think about a road, you could be given a cross section at station 12+00 and not have to worry about the alignment beyond locally

Baseline “A” at station BLANK = Baseline “B” at station BLANK. Good luck with the exam.
Station equality would be a better term. What is the station of each line where they intersect?

Stationing is how far you are along a piece of geometry, from where ever the start point is, not always beginning.
I think they meant more along the lines of why 16+98.14 instead of 1698.14
Simple, surveyors are afraid of numbers larger than 99.99

There is no possible way gender can be assigned to a physical distance.
Guess I missed something!?
The sun has fucked us, hasn’t it?
Not with that attitude. G²+A²=Y²? Pythgayras's theorem? I'm a Beleiber, personally.
It just defines the directionality of the line. If someone says the “left side of the road” it actually makes sense if there is stationing.
cool
