3-4 N 15° 47’ W 5.00 m.
4-5 N 73° 07’ E 19.95m.

a.) Find the area of the lot by DMD method

b.) Find the DPD of line 3-4
c.) Find the area of lot by DPD method.

Solution:
a.) Area by DMD method:
Departure= distance x sin bearing
Latitude = distance x cos bearing
LINES BEARINGS DISTANCES LATITUDE DEPARTURE DMD DOUBLE

4-5 N 73° 07’ E 19.96m. 5.80 19.10 -19.04 -110.432

To compute the DMD:

Lines DMD
1-2 -11.77
2-3 -11.77 -11.77 -5.94 = -29.48
3-4 -29.48 – 5.94 – 1.36 = -36.78
4-5 -36.78 – 1.36+19.10 = -19.04
To compute the double area = DMD x latitude
Lines Double Area
1-2 -11.77 (-18.63) = 219.275
2-3 -29.48(-8.05) = 237.314
3-4 -36.78 (4.81) = -176.544
4-5 -19.04 (5.80) = -110.432

2-3 -18.63+(-18.63)+(-8.05) = -45.31
3-4 -45.31+(-8.05)+4.81 = -48.55
4-5 -48.55+4.81+5.80 = -37.94
To compute the double area = DPD x departure
Lines Double Area
1-2 -18.83(-11.77)= 219.275
2-3 -45.31(-5.94)= 269.141
