Unit 10

1. The document discusses methods for subdividing tracts of land, including determining bearing and length of dividing lines, calculating areas of subdivided parcels, and checking calculations. 2. Specific questions are asked about calculating interior angles, lengths, distances, bearings, and areas for examples of land parcels being divided. 3. Calculations of adjusted latitudes and departures, solving simultaneous equations, and using closed traverses are discussed as techniques for subdivision.

subdivision of land, a resurvey is run, the latitudes and
departures are determined, the surveyed traverse is balanced,
and the area of the entire tract is computed. Also, when

a) equal the area of the entire parcel of land
5. In the process of dividing a tract of land by a line running
in a given direction, the surveyor needed to analyze and
evaluate the resulting triangle as shown in the accompanying
sketch.

The length of a line running from station F to station C which


will divide the tract into two parts is
c) 548.45 m

be determined by using two simultaneous equations containing
two unknowns, wherein the sums of the
a) latitudes and the departures are set respectively to zero
20. In Question 17, the area of the whole parcel of land or any
of its subdivided areas may then be determined by any of the
conventional methods used in determining areas. A check is made
by noting that the
a) sum of the areas of the three lots, each calculated
independently, is equal to the calculated area of the entire
parcel of land b) direction of line BG is parallel to line CP
