Magnetic Declination: 1. In a compass survey made twenty years ago the observed magnetic bearing of a reference line XY was N 42'21' E when the magnetic declination was 6'25' East. Lately in 2018, a new survey was made and the declination in the same survey site changed to 10°35' West. Determine the following descriptions of line XY: a.) Its true bearing twenty years ago; b.) The true azimuth from North and South; c.) Its new magnetic bearing; and d.) The magnetic azimuth from North and South in 2018.

Surveying In order to locate the position (P) of a sounding boat, the angles APB & BPC subtended at P by three points A, B and C on the shore were measured with a sextant and found to be 28º 42’ 40” and 30º 28’ 20” respectively, the point B & P being on opposite of AC. The length of AB & BC scaled from a map were 662 m and 4662 m respectively, and the angle ABC was 60º 50’ 40”. Carry out all the necessary calculations to compute the distances PA, PB and PC.
