Activity 14 - Angles and Directions
Following are the observed magnetic bearings of a compass traverse: AB, N38˚41'E;
BC, N85˚28'E; CD, S56˚48'E; DE, S80˚50'E; EF, N59˚40'E and FG, Due East. Compute
the true bearing of its line if the magnetic declination in the locality is 02˚51' East.
Solutions:
AB: True bearing = N(Magnetic Bearing + declination)E
= N(38˚41' + 2˚51')E
= N41˚32'E
Solution:
True bearing of line recorded = S(Magnetic Bearing + declination)E
= S(69˚28' + 03˚58')E
= S73˚26'E
Magnetic bearing of line recorded in old survey = S(true bearing + declination)E
= S(73˚26' + 3˚51')E
= S77˚17’E

Activity 16 - Angles and Directions
The following magnetic azimuths of an open compass traverse are reckoned from north:
AB, 182˚08'; BC, 277˚41'; CD, 314˚21'; and DE, 00˚28'. What are the corresponding true
bearings if the magnetic declination is 04˚31'E within the locality?
Solutions:
AB: Bearing = 270˚00' – Azimuth
= 270˚00' - 182˚08'
= 87˚52'
True Bearing = Bearing – declination
= 87˚52' - 4˚31'
= 83˚21'
Solution:
AB: True bearing = N(Magnetic Bearing - declination)E
= N(48˚41' - 3˚25')E
= N45˚16'E
True Azimuth = 180˚00' + Bearing
= 180˚00' + 45˚16'
= 225˚16'
BC: True bearing = N(Magnetic Bearing - declination)E
= N(80˚38' - 3˚25')E
= N77˚13'E
True Azimuth = 180˚00' + Bearing
= 180˚00' + 77˚13'
= 257˚13'
Solutions:
a.
Azimuth = 180˚00' + Bearing
= 180˚00' + 17˚48'
= 197˚48'
b.
Azimuth = 270˚00' - Bearing
= 270˚00' - 24˚31'
= 245˚29'
c.
Azimuth = 00˚00' + Bearing
= 00˚00' + 57˚21'
= 57˚21'
d.
Azimuth = 90˚00' - Bearing
= 90˚00' - 76˚81'
= 12˚39'
e.
Azimuth = 90˚00' - Bearing
= 90˚00' - 09˚81'
= 79˚39'
Solutions:
a. Bearing = 90˚00' - Azimuth
= 90˚00' - 52˚21'
= 37˚39'
