  Section 2 - Practice Exercise

The sine of 80 degrees times the hypotenuse 0.96 chains, equals the opposite side 0.9454, which rounds to 0.95 chains. The position in departure for the temp stake is computed the same way and equals 1.44 chains.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The true latitudes of the closing error and of the temp stake would be computed using the cosine ratio.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The cosine of bearing theta times the hypotenuse equals the adjacent side, or the latitude in chains.
