In mensuration, three angles are important[1]:

  • Inclination angle
    Specifying the elevation of a distance
  • Azimuth or direction angle
    Angle that is constructed by a distance and a defined direction (in geodesy mostly a north direction)
  • Angle of refraction
    Angle constructed by two distances

Note that angles are always read in clockwise direction- direction angles based on the north direction, angles of refraction from the preceding to the following reference point.
