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.

Transcribed Image Text: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
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.
