Solution: Line Directions

Problem (3)

Using the interior angles shown, compute line bearings going counter-clockwise around the traverse. Identify and perform a math check.

Bearing of line TU is S 79°46'35" E.

Computations

Comps on your own for this one, but here are the answers

Answers
Line	Bearing
UV	N 49°36'45" E
VW	N 22°54'25" W
WX	N 84°39'25" W
XY	S 39°47'20" W
YT	S 14°58'25" W

Math Check?

Before starting bearing caomps, make sure the angles add up to (n-2) x 180° (they do).

Compute back into line TU from line YT using its bearing and the angle at T. You should get S 79°46'35" E
