Which error propagation increases in the geometrical alidade when estimating distant building heights?

💡 Explanation

Increases in angle readings from base to top involve height differences algebraic summation to estimate the total building height; each contributes uncertainty because of observation device limitations; therefore cumulative error grows; rather than single-angle issues affecting only one segment.
