Solution

Concepts and reason

Landscape Surveying
Surveying is the technique which is identifying the position of the points and calculating linear and angular measurements of the
points on the earth's surface. Landscape surveying is the part of the surveying which is comprised of linear measurement,
angular measurement, area of the land, the profile of the ground surface, and elevation.

Traverse survey
Traverse is the type of surveying that is carried out in the field of surveying to fix control networks. There are two types of
traverse surveying and they are open and closed surveys.

Precision is one of the important factors of measurement. The precision is calculated by finding the latitude and departure of
each line. For a close traverse, the sum of departure and latitude should be equal to zero. The latitude is the projection of line
on NS-axis, and departure is the projection of line on EW axis.

Fundamentals
The formula to calculate the error in closer is given by,

Here, is error in latitude, and is error in departure.

The formula to calculate the precision is given by,

Determine the error in closer by using equation (1).

Step 1 of 2
Substitute all the values in equation (1) to find the error in closer.

The error in closer is determined by substituting and in equation (1). Therefore, the error in closer is

obtained as 6.23 m.
Use the correct formula and do the proper substitution.
Determine the precision by using equation (2).
Step 2 of 2
Substitute all the values in equation (2) to find the precision.

The precision is obtained by substituting the 6.23 for error in closure and 935.65 for perimeter in equation (2). Therefore, the

precision is obtained as .

Justification for incorrect answers:

.: As per the calculation, this answer is incorrect.

.: As per the calculation, this answer is incorrect.

.: As per the calculation, this answer is incorrect.

The precision is the ratio of closing error to the perimeter instead of perimeter to the closing error.
