    SAMPLE PROBLEM

    Given in the accompanying tabulation are the


    observed data for a traverse obtained from a closed
    compass survey. Determine the following:
    A. Latitudes and Departures of each course
    B. Linear error of closure, the bearing of the side of
    error, and the precision of the survey made
    C. Adjusted Distance and Bearing of each course using:
    a. Compass Rule
    b. Transit Rule
