If you know the elevation of A, called E(A), you can calculate the elevation of B, called E(B), as BS -FS + E(A). But BS + E(A) = HI, the height of the instrument or the elevation of the line of sight directed from the level.

See lessGeodetic surveying is undertaken
The surveys in which the curvature of the earth is taken into consideration are known as geodetic surveying. All lines lying on the surface are curved lines and the triangles are spherical triangles. It is considered to be geodetic when the limit of the survey is more than 250 km2.
