To achieve the required precision, the design should include a ______ number of known points, with as many cross-ties and repeated measurements as possible.

To achieve the required precision, the design should include an optimal number of known points, with sufficient cross-ties and repeated measurements to provide strong geometry and redundancy. Known points anchor the network, while cross-ties connect different parts so the adjustment is well-conditioned and less sensitive to individual errors. Repeated measurements help average out random errors and reveal blunders, boosting overall accuracy. An optimal setup balances precision with practical limits like time and cost, avoiding too few points that would weaken precision or too many that waste resources.
