Calculate Azimuth and Bearing

for the loop system shown below

First check Summation of

Internal Angle is =
å I.A.=(n-2)*1800
=3*1800 =5400

Use (Counter Clockwise

Direction) CCW method
Back Azimuth (Baz)
Forward Azimuth (F Az)
(B Az= 180 F Az)
In this Example
Az AB = is Forward Azimuth
Az BA = Back Ward Azimuth

AzAB = 3000
AzBA = AzAB – 1800, (Az AB >1800) = 3000 – 1800 = 1200
AzBC = AzBA + < B (< B = 1000) = 1200 + 1000= 2200

AzDC = AzCD +180, (AzCB < 1800) = 1650+1800= 3450
AzDE = AzDC + < D = 3450 + 1170 = 4620 (>3600) = 4620-3600=1020

AzEA = AzED + <E = 2820+1230 = 4050-3600= 450
AzAE = AzEA + 1800 = 450+1800 = 2250
AzAB = AzAE + < A= 2250 + 750 = 3000 (Checked !)

In NW Q. Az = Be
In NW Q. Az = 3600-Be
In SE Q. Az= 1800-Be
In SW Q. Az =1800+ Be
