When a number of angles are observed from the
Satellite station S, it is convenient to assume SB as an
arbitrary meridian. The observed angles are then
reduced to this meridian and the corrections are
computed from the formula

Numerical example

From an eccentric station S, 12.25 meters to the west

of the main station B, the following angles were
measured
<BSC =76°25′32″ ; < CSA =54°32′20 ″
The stations S and C are to the opposite sides of the
line AB. Calculate the correct angle ABC if the lengths
AB and BC are 5286.5 and 4932.2 m respectively.

Q. In measuring angles from a triangulation station B, it was found
necessary to set the instrument at a satellite station S, due south of
the main station B and at a distance of 12.2 meters from it. The line BS
approximately bisects the exterior angle ABC. The angles ASB and BSC
were observed to be 30°20′30″ and 29°45′6″ respectively. When the
station B was observed, the angles CAB and ACB were observed to be
59°18′26 ″ and 60°26′12″ respectively. The side AC was computed to
be 4248.5 metres from the adjacent triangle. Determine the correct
value of the angle ABC.

Q. From the satellite station S, 5.8 meters from the main triangulation
station A, the following directions were observed.
A 0° 0′ 0″
B 132°18 ′ 30″
C 232° 24 ′ 6″
D 296 ° 6 ′ 11″

The lengths AB, AC and AD were computed to be 3265.5 m, 4022.2 m and

3086.4 m respectively. Determine the directions of AB,AC and AD.
