Assignment No. 3 Triangulation
Given the polygon shown in Figure 1 which is a part of a triangulation system. The straight
lines BE and AD are equal in length and point O is located at their midpoint. The azimuth of
line BC is 255 degrees. If the angle θ = 70 degrees and length AB is equal to 500 meters,
determine the length of CD. Note that α = 90 degrees.

2. Three Church steeples A, D and E are three triangulation observation points with CD=625
m, and DE=615 m, angle EDC = 125°. A transitman at station B wanted to know his position
with respect to triangulation point C and he measured angle CBD to be 42°30’ and angle
DBE to be 43°. Compute:
a. the angle DCB and distance BC
b. the coordinates of station B if line CD has and azimuth of 255°50’ and the
coordinates of C is N=14500.36 ; E=18356.45
