Problems Surveying QDSG

This document contains two examples of solving problems involving closed traverses and dividing areas within closed traverses. The first example calculates missing sides, bearings, and areas using latitudes and departures. The second example divides a triangular lot into two areas of a specified size and calculates lengths and locations of dividing lines.

MIISING SIDES AND/OR BEARING OF CLOSED TRAVERSE

1. Given the following descriptions of a four sided lot.

LINE BEARING DISTANCE


AB N 30” 30’ E 56.5m
BC N 75” 30’ W 46.5m
CD S 45” 30’ W 87.5m
DA --------------------- ----------------------

a.) What is the length of line DA?


b.) What is the bearing of line DA?
c.) Compute the area of the enclosed traverse.

SOLUTION

a.) Length of DA
LINE LAT DEP
AB +48.68 +28.68
BC +11.64 -49.05
CD -61.33 -62.41
DA +1.01 +78.82

Distance DA = √(+1.01)² + (+78.82)²


Distance DA = 78.83m

b.) Bearing of DA
Tan Ɵ = 78.82
1.01
Ɵ = 78” 02’
Bearing of DA = N 78” 02’ E
c.) Area of enclosed traverse

LINE LAT DEP DMD PDA


AB +48.68 +28.68 +28.68 +1396.14
BC +11.64 -45.09 +12.27 142.82
CD -61.33 -62.41 -95.23 +5840.45
DA +1.01 +78.82 2A=7299.81

A = 3649.91m²
2. A closed traversed shows tabulated values of latitudes and departures.

LINES LATITUDE DEPARTURE


1-2 +84.60 ---
2-3 +95.32 -56.11
3-4 +62.66 -57.52
4-5 -48.16 -31.40
5-6 -43.04 +59.70
6-1 --- +47.63

a.) Compute the DMD of line 3-4


b.) Compute the length of line 6-1
c.) Compute the bearing of line 6-1

SOLUTION

a.) DMD of line 3-4

Latitude of (6-1)
Σ(latitude) = 0
+84.60 + 95.32 + 62.66 - 48.16 - 43.04 – y = 0
y = -151.38

Departure of (1-2)
Σ(departure) = 0
x -56.11 - 57.52 - 31.40 + 59.70 + 47.63 = 0
x = 37.70

LINES LATITUDE DEPARTURE DMD


1-2 +84.60 +37.70 37.70
2-3 +95.32 -56.11 19.29
3-4 +62.66 -57.52 -94.34
4-5 -48.16 -31.40 -183.26
5-6 -43.04 +59.70 -154.96
6-1 -151.38 +47.63 -47.63

DMD of line (3-4) = -94.34


b.) Length of line 6-1
(distance)² = (latitude)² + (departure)²
(D₆₋₁)² = (-151.38)² + (+47.63)²
D₆₋₁ = 158.70m
c.) Bearing of line 6-1
Tan Ɵ = 43.63
151.38
Ɵ = 17” 29’
Bearing is S 17” 29’ E
DIVIDING OF AREA OF CLOSED TRAVERSE
1.) A triangular lot has the following Azimuths and distances

LINES AZIMUTH DISTANCE


1-2 180” 00’ ---
2-3 300” 00’ ---
3-1 40” 00’ 960.22

a.) The lot is to be divided such that the area of the southern portion would be 210,000m².
Compute the position of the other end of the dividing line, if the line starts at corner 3 of the lot.
Express the distance from corner 1.
b.) What is the length of the dividing line?
c.) Compute the azimuth of the dividing line.

SOLUTION

a.) Location of x from corner 1

210,000 = X(960.22) Sin(40)

x = 680.47

b.) Length of dividing line


(y)² = (680.7)² + (960.22)² - 2(680.47)(960.22) Cos(40)
y = 619.67m
c.) Bearing of dividing line

680.47 = 619.67
Sin Ɵ Sin40
Ɵ = 44” 54’
Bearing = S 44” 54 W
Azimuth = 84” 54’
2.) The following data of a given 4 sided lot
LINES BEARING DISTANCES
AB N 20” E ?
BC Due East 200m
CD S 30” W ?
DA Due West 300m

a.) Find the area of the lot in m².


b.) Find the length of the dividing line (EF) that is parallel to line DA which will divide the lot into
two equal areas.
c.) Determine the location of one end of the dividing line E from corner A along line AB.

SOLUTION

a.) Area of lot

A = (300)² - (200)²

2(cot(70) + cot(58))

A = 25,282.16 sq.m

b.) Length of dividing line

x = √ (1)(300)² + (1)(200)²

1+2

X = 254.95m

c.) Distance AE

a = 300 – 254.95

a = 45.05

AE = 45.05

Sin(58) Sin(52)

AE = 48.48m
