If a point is 600 feet ahead of station 100+00, what is that station number?

To determine the station number when a point is located 600 feet ahead of station 100+00, it is essential to understand how stationing works in construction and surveying.

Stationing is typically expressed in the format of feet or hundred-foot increments. The notation "100+00" represents 10000 feet, with the +00 indicating that it's the zero reference for that station. To find a point that is 600 feet ahead of this station, you add 600 feet to the total of the initial station.

Starting with station 100+00, which is 10000 feet, you add 600 feet:

10000 + 600 = 10600 feet.

When converted back into the stationing format, 10600 feet is represented as 106+00.

Thus, the station number 600 feet ahead of station 100+00 is indeed 106+00, making it the correct answer.
