Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A closed traverse has four sides measuring 90 m, 80 m, 75 m, and 120 m with angles summing to 358°. Determine the adjustments needed to the angles and compute the corrected coordinates if one point is known as (100, 100).
💡 Hint: Remember how angles influence the trajectory of the traverse.
You have a total latitude error of +6 m and total departure of +8 m. Using the Transit Rule, explain how to adjust the latitudes and departures of each traverse line.
💡 Hint: Think about how your adjustments impact the overall geometry of the traverse.
