Consider a five-sided closed polygon traverse. The azimuth of side AB is
fixed at 218° 59'30". A = 132°47'06", B = 108°46'18",
C = 107°19'37", D = 81°50′36", E = 109°16′18". (Note: line BC
bears SE.) The lengths of the sides (in feet) are as follows: AB = 202.74,
BC=283.87, CD = 498.37, DE = 320.33, and EA = 380.78. The
coordinates of station A are X = 20, 000.00 ft and Y= 15, 000.00 ft.
Part A
Use the coordinate method to compute the area enclosed by the traverse above.
Express your answer in feet squared to two significant figures. Note: Traverse does not need to be adjusted to determine the correct answer.
