Given that the size of Elmer's property is 180 acres, and given that there are 20 volunteers, what would be a reasonable approach to surveying the land for houndstongue?

Weed Mapping  Application is the most reasonable approach for surveying.

The most reasonable approach to survey the property would be a GPS survey using a dual-frequency GPS system.

Explanation:

Surveying makes use of coordinates to determine positions of objects, it is the first step towards developing a property. There are different types of survey which are specific to various needs and sizes of a property.

GPS SURVEY

GPS survey makes use of the global positioning system to determine positions of a property or object. It is quite accurate and also an efficient type of survey based on its flexibility.

In the illustration, the property size is 180 acres and 20 volunteers are expected to work on it. To carry out this survey, a station whose coordinate is known normally referred to the master station is used to get the coordinates of the remote stations. The volunteers are stationed at 20 remote stations and the surveyor at the master station makes use of dual-frequency GPS system to pick the coordinates of the remote stations. The dual-frequency GPS system would be used because it covers more distance and for a survey as massive as 180 acres this is reasonable.

For the survey to be carried out seamlessly by the 20 volunteers, a dual-frequency GPS system would be used for the GPS survey.
