Example Problems in Higher Surveying

Example: Missing Data, Case 2

Determine the missing parts of the lot whose other description is given below.

Line Bearing Length (m)

1-2 S 45°30’ W 44.37
2-3 N 57°15’ W 137.84
3-4 - 12.83
4-5 - 64.86
5-1 S 48°12’ E 106.72

Line Latitude Departure
(m) (m)
5-1 - 71.13 + 79.56
1-2 - 36.12 - 25.77
2-3 + 74.57 - 115.93
? 3-5 (-) + 32.68 (-) + 62.14

Length 3-5 = √ 32.682 + 62.142 = 70.21 m

Tan ( Bearing 3-5) = dep / lat = 62.14 / 32.68

Bearing 3-5 = N 62°15.58’ E

 Example Problems in Higher Surveying

Consider ∆ 3-4-5

By Cosine Law 5
70.212 = 64.862 + 12.832 – 2(64.86)(12.83) cos α 64.86m β
α = 109°35.39’

4 70.21m
12.83m α
θ
By Sine Law 62°15.58’
3
Sin 109°35.39’ sin θ sin β
------------------- = ------------ = ------------
70.21 64.86 12.83

θ = 60°29.80’
β = 9°54.81’

Therefore, Bearing 3-4 = N (62°15.58’ - 60°29.80’) E

= N 1°45.78’ E ANS.
Bearing 4-5 = N (62°15.58’ + 9°54.81’) E
= N 72°10.39’ E ANS.
