Solve the following problems.

1. Given the following data of a balanced closed traverse, determine the area by DMD Method.
Latitude Departure
Line
+N -S +E -W
1-2 10.49 8.76
2-3 12.66 11.30
3-4 15.23 13.48
4-5 7.05 27.19
5-1 24.45 6.35

2. Determine the area of the lot whose description is given below. Use (a) the DMD method and (b)
the DPD method.
Line Length (m) Bearing
1-2 42.48 S 32° 47’ W
2-3 118.93 N 56° 05’ W

3-4 13.72 N 2° 55’ E

4-5 67.82 N 73° 38’ E
5-6 57.31 S 77° 49’ E
6-1 51.37 S 0° 07’ W
3. A series of perpendicular offsets are taken from a transit line to a curved boundary line. These
offsets were taken 8m. aparts and were taken in the following order: 0, 1.5m, 3.0m, 3.2m, 4.0m,
5.5m, 8.0m, 4.5m, 3.1m, 1.0m, 0m. Derive Simpson’s One Third Rule and find the area included
between the transit and the curved line using this formula.
