II. The interior angles of a seven-sided closed traverse measured as follows:

A = 99°12’ C = Not measured E = 285°10’ G = 126°45’
B = 132°26’ D = 110°58’ F = 72°34’

C 110°58’

? F

E 72°34’

285°10’ S. 32°54’E.

B 132°26’ 126°45’ G

If all observed angles are assumed to be correct, determine the interior angles at C. Also determine the bearing of
each line if the bearing of line FG is S. 32°54’E. Tabulate values accordingly.

III. The observed interior angles of a closed traverse are as follows: A- 163°18’; B- 68°34’; C- 127°10’; D- 56°22’; E-
89°29’; and F- 214°07’ . Determine the angular closure and adjust the measured angles by assuming that the
angular error is of the same amount at each station. Tabulate values accordingly.

IV. Given the following fieldnotes data of a closed traverse, compute and distribute error using Transit Rule.
