Given a Polygon ABCDE such that AZ AB=45˚23'20" and the internal

angles
A=63˚47'00'', B=140˚28'49", C=101˚30'28"and D=72˚48'10"and
E=161˚25'35".
Check the theoretical sum and correct if needed
Calculate Bearings, Back Bearings, Azimuth and Back Azimuth.
Theoretical sum = (n-2)*180= (5-2)*180=540 degrees
Sum of measured angles=540˚0'2''
Error=540˚-540˚0'2''=0˚0'2''=2''

Allowable error=1.4 √ =1.4*√ =3.13'=187.8''

Error is less than allowable, correction =2/5=0.4''
