Find the coordinates of point C using the data given below.

Step 1: Interpretation of data

Data Given:
Coordinates of point A (2784.57,3500.64) (y,x)
Coordinates of point B (3923.41,3418.25) (y,x)
Azimuth CA = 246g.8379 = 222.154°
Length CB = 932.03 m
Asked:
• Coordinate of point C
Step 2 Primary Calculations

222.154°

42.154°

47.846°

As we know that, the equation for line CA can be determined by,

𝑥 − 𝑥1 = 𝑚(𝑦 − 𝑦1 )
∴ 𝑥 − 3500.64 = [𝑡𝑎𝑛(47.846°)](𝑦 − 2784.57)
∴ 𝑥 − 3500.64 = 1.1046(𝑦 − 2784.57)
∴ 𝑥 = 1.1046(𝑦 − 2784.57) + 3500.64……….(1)
The equation for circle considering point B as a centre and line BC as
radius.
(𝑥 − 𝑥𝐵 )2 + (𝑦 − 𝑦𝐵 )2 = 932.032
(𝑥 − 3418.25)2 + (𝑦 − 3923.41)2 = 932.032 …………(2)
After solving equation 1 and 2 we get,
y1 = 3420.21m or y2 = 3092.86m
After putting these values in equation 1
x1 = 4202.77m and x2 = 3841.1 m
