1. INTERIOR ANGLE TRAVERSE. Determine the interior angles for each of the four
accompanying traverse.

2. INTERIOR ANGLE TRAVERSE. The interior angles of a closed traverse were

measured with the following results: A=110°35’, B=59° 52’, C=85° 05’, D=70° 20’,
E=213° 53’. Determine the error of closure and adjust the measured angles. Assume
that the error of closure was primarily due to accidental errors.

Determine the error of closure and adjust the measured angles by assuming that the
error is the same for each angle.

5. ANGLE TO THE RIGHT TRAVERSE. A five sided closed traverse proceeds in a

clockswise direction and the angle to the right at each station were observed as follows:
A=________, B=________, C=________, D=________, and E=________. Determine

assumption that the error is the same for each angle.

 For each traverse determine the linear error of closure, the direction of the side of error,
and the precision of the measurements made. Tabulate all observed and computed
values.

8. ERROR OF CLOSURE. In a given closed traverse the sum of the south latitudes
exceeds the sum of the north latitudes by 3.55 m and the sum of the east departures
exceeds the sum of the west departures by 2.83 m. of the perimeter of the traverse is
945.75 m, determine the linear error of closure, bearing of the side or error, and the
precision of the survey performed.

9. COMPASS RULE. Given in the accompanying tabulations are the observed and
calculated data for two
different transit tape

For each set of survey

data, determine the linear
misclosure, direction of the
side of error, and precision
of the survey after the
latitudes and departures
are balanced by the
compass rule. Tabulate
values accordingly and
draw to a suitable scale
the adjusted traverse.

10. TRANSIT RULE. Given in the accompanying tabulations are observed and calculated data for
two different traverses.

For each set of traverse data, balance the latitudes and departures by the transit rule. Also
determine the linear error of closure, bearing of the side of error, and the precision of the
 measurements made. Tabulate all observed and calculated values into a convenient format and
prepare a sketch of the adjusted traverse.

11. ADJUSTMENT OF LENGTHS AND BEARINGS. Given in the accompanying tabulations are the
adjusted latitudes and departures for a property survey. Determine the adjusted length and
adjusted bearing of each course.

corresponding to a transit tape survey are given in the accompanying tabulations. Determine the
adjusted length and adjusted azimuth from south of each course.

13. RECTANGULAR COORDINATES. Given in the accompanying tabulations are the adjusted
latitudes and adjusted departures of a property survey. Determine the following:
a. Rectangular coordinates of all other stations in the traverse if the X and Y coordinates of
station A are 2500.00 m and 5250.00 m, respectively.
b. Rectangular coordinates of all other stations in the same traverse if the X and Y
coordinates of station D are 1195.25 and 1053.70 m, respectively.

sides of a tract of land whose corners have the following X and Y coordinates.
