Question
A surveyor starting from a point A moves N. 27° 40' E. a distance of 552' 7.25" to point B. Next, she moves
N. 57°6' E. a distance of 409' 2.25" to point C. Next, she walks S. 6'5' Ww. a distance of 1692' 2.25" to point
D. Finally, she returns to the starting point.
What distance must she walk to return to the starting point? (Answer accurate to the nearest quarter inch.)
feet &
inches
What heading does she walk from the fourth point to return to the starting point? (Answer accurate to the
nearest minute.)
N.
W.
What is the acreage of this plot of land?
acre
area =
Your answer should be accurate to 3 decimal places.
Notes:
* the prime symbol in an angle represents minutes: 60' = 1°
* the prime symbol in a length represents feet; double prime = inches;
* 1 acre = 4840 yd?
* 1 acre = 43,560 ft?
an angle like N 20 E means 20 degrees east of north.
