    This document describes the process of calculating double meridian distance (DMD) and double area for a traverse survey. It provides three rules for calculating DMD for each line in the traverse. The DMD and departure values are then used to calculate the north and south double areas, which are summed and divided by two to determine the final area of 1,715,096.27 units^2.

    Rule 1: The DMD of the first course is equal to the departure of the course

    Rule 2: The DMD of the 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.

    DOUBLE AREA = DMD X Adj. Lat
