Traverse: A sequence of connected survey lines forming a closed loop.
Interior Angle: The angle formed between two consecutive sides of a traverse.
Clockwise Traverse: The order of points is clockwise.
Counterclockwise Traverse: The order of points is counterclockwise.
Method:
Measure the included angles using a theodolite or compass.
For clockwise traverses:
Subtract the smaller bearing from the larger one.
If the difference is less than 180°, it’s an interior angle.
If the difference exceeds 180°, it’s an exterior angle.
If negative, add 360° to get the whole circle bearing.
For counterclockwise traverses:
Add the smaller bearing to the larger one.
Follow the same rules as above.
Calculating Fore Bearing and Back Bearing:
Fore Bearing (FB): The bearing of a line from the starting point to the ending point.
Back Bearing (BB): The bearing of the same line in the opposite direction.
Whole Circle Bearing System (WCB): Bearings measured clockwise from the north direction (0° to 360°).
Method:
For WCB:
BB = FB + 180° if FB < 180°
BB = FB - 180° if FB > 180°
For Quadrantal Bearings:
BB = Numerically equal to FB (change N for S and E for W).
Sum of Interior Angles in a Polygon:
Regular Polygon: All interior angles are equal.
Irregular Polygon: Interior angles may vary.
Formula:
Sum of interior angles = (n - 2) × 180°
Where ‘n’ is the number of sides.
Examples:
Triangle: 180°
Quadrilateral: 360°
Pentagon: 540°
Hexagon: 720°
Remember, the sum of interior angles remains constant regardless of polygon type!
