5. The following angles to the left (HL) were obtained in a close link traverse in between two
adjusted known lines XA and EY. Compute the angular mis-closure, if any, on that traverse and
adjusted bearings of the traverse lines.

Correct the bearings for local attraction and determine the true bearings of lines if the magnetic
declination at the place is 30 30̍.
7. A and B are two points 160m apart on the near bank of a river which flows from east to west.
The bearings of a tree on the far bank as observed from A and B are N50 0E and N440W
respectively. Determine the width of the river.
