A four-sided closed field traverse has the following angles: A = 81°53'30"; B = 70°28′30"; C = 86°09′30"; D =121*30'30". The lengths of the sides are as follows: AB = 636.45 ft; BC = 654.45 ft; CD= 382.65 ft; DA= 469.38 ft. The bearing of AB is S 17°17' W. BC is in the N.E. quadrant. Draw the four-sided closed traverse according to the information given, before starting the solution. (a) Balance the field angles (make sure it is equal to the theoretical sum of the interior angles) (b) Compute the bearings and the azimuths of each side. (c) Compute the latitudes and departures for each side. (d) Determine the linear error of closure and the accuracy ratio.
