Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

In a closed traverse with five sides, the computed angles summed to 401°. Calculate the angular error and describe how to adjust it for each angle.

💡 Hint: Apply the adjustment slowly to see the overall effect.

Question 2

During a traverse, you find the sum of latitudes is +6.5m while departures sum up to -3.0m. If applying the Bowditch rule, calculate the adjustment for a side of 50m.

💡 Hint: Break it down to the error per unit length.
