SITUATION
In a trapezoidal piece of land ABCD, the measured length of AB = 95 m, BC = 135 m, CD
= 47 m and DA = 68 m. The bearings were also recorded and the latitude and departure
of each course was computed. If the summation of the positive latitudes exceeds that of
the summation of negative latitudes by 0.65 m and the summation of positive departures
exceeds that of the summation of negative departures by 1.12 m,
