Question

A closed field traverse has the following lengths
AB = 636.45; BC = 654.49; CD = 382.85; and DA = 512.77.

The interior angles are as follows (measured as angles to the right):
A = 81º 23'; B = 72º 33'; C = 89º 40'; and D =116º 24'.

The bearing of AB is S 33º 19' W and the side BC is in the
SE quadrant.

a) Which is the bearing of line CD?

b) Which is the bearing of line BC?
c) Which nearly gives the value of LEC?
