Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
In a closed traverse ABCD, where AB = 100m at a bearing of 0º, BC = 200m at 90º, CD = 150m at 180º; calculate the length and bearing of DA.
💡 Hint: Remember to apply trigonometry for the missing leg computations.
Given a traverse that does not close with an error of 2m, explain how you would apply the Bowditch method to resolve this issue.
💡 Hint: Refer to our earlier calculations for guidance!
