Find the corrected fore and back bearings and the tue bearing of each of the lines given
that the magnetic declination was 10° W.
13. The following are the bearings taken on a closed compass traverse:

Compute the interior angles and correct them for observational errors. Assuming the observed
bearing of the line AB to be correct, adjust the bearing of the remaining sides.
14, (@) Derive rules to calculate reduced bearing from whole circle bearing for all the quadrants.
(b) The following bearings were observed with 2 compass :
