Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

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.

Question 2

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!
