1. A closed traverse has the following data:
Line Length (m) Bearing
AB 126.00 N 35°E
BC 233.00 S 10°E
CA 170.00 N 41°W
a. What is the corrected length of line BC using the compass rule from Problem No. 2?
b. What is the corrected length of line BC using the transit rule from Problem No. 2?
2. The interior angles of a five sides traverse as follows: A=117°30’, B=96°32’, C=142°32’. D=132°18’.
The angle at E is not measured. Determine the angle E.
3. A parcel of land is defined as follows:
Corner Northings Eastings
1 9835 9765
2 9700 9840
3 9640 9572
4 9735 9483
a. What is the length of side 1-2 in meter?
b. What is the azimuth of side 4-1?
4. A closed traverse has the following information:
Summation of N and S latitudes = +1.32m
Summation of E & W departures =-1.85m
Total Latitude= 1856.32m
Total Departure=1532.47m
Perimeter of the traverse=6235.24
Line BC on this traverse has the following data:
Length=652.32m
Latitude=523.65m N
Departure= 388.99m E
a. What is the correction to be applied to the latitude of BC using transit rule?
b. What is the correction to be applied to the departure of BC using the compass rule?
