AREA BY COORDINATES

It is another useful method for computing the area of a closed plane


figure bounded by straight lines. It is applicable for calculating areas of
either small or large sizes of land.

AREA BY DMD METHOD
DOUBLE MERIDIAN DISTANCE

The use of double meridian distance (DMD) is to determine the area of a closed traverse. This method
is an adaption of the method of determining areas by coordinates. Thus if latitudes and departures of a
traverse are known and have been adjusted the area of the traverse maybe computed conveniently by
the DMD method. To obtain the double area, the DMD of the course is multiplied by the corresponding
adjusted latitude of the course

AREA BY DMD METHOD
DOUBLE MERIDIAN DISTANCE

The Double Parallel Distance method of area computation is similar to the double meridian Method.
The difference is that the double areas can be determined by multiplying the DPD of each course by
the corresponding adjusted departure of the course.
SAMPLE PROBLEM

Using the data from previous problem, determine the area of the closed traverse using DPD method.
