    This document discusses two methods for calculating the area of a surveyed plot of land - the Double Meridian Distance (DMD) method and the Double Parallel Distance (DPD) method. For the DMD method, the document outlines three rules for calculating the DMD value for each course in a traverse: the departure of the first course, the sum of the preceding course's DMD and departures for other courses, and the opposite of the last course's departure. Similarly, it provides three rules for calculating DPD values using latitude instead of departure. These methods allow surveyors to calculate the total area of a plot from distance and direction measurements of its boundary lines.

    Elementary Surveying Notes

    Using the Double Meridian Distance (DMD) and Double Parallel Distance
    (DPD) Methods
    DMD Method
    Double Area (2A) = DMD x Adjusted Latitude
    Area (A) = (1/2)( DMD x Adjusted Latitude)
    The following three rules provide a means of computing the DMD for each course
    of a traverse:
    RULE 1: The DMD of the first course is equal to the departure of the course.
    RULE 2: The DMD of any other course is equal to the DMD of the preceding
    course, plus the departure of the preceding course, plus the departure of the course
    itself.
    RULE 3: The DMD of the last course is numerically equal to the departure of that
    course, but with the opposite sign.
    DPD Method
    Double Area (2A) = DMD x Adjusted Departure
    Area (A) = (1/2)( DMD x Adjusted Departure)
    Correspondingly, the following rules also provide a means of computing the DPD
    for each course of a traverse.
    RULE 1: The DPD of the first course is equal to the latitude of the course.
    RULE 2: The DPD of any other course is equal to the DPD of the preceding
    course, plus the latitude of the preceding course, plus the latitude of the course
    itself.
    RULE 3: The DPD of the last course is numerically equal to the latitude of that
    course but with the opposite sign.
