Question
Situation No. 1: The baseline AB of a triangulation systemis equal to 400m. long. Station C and
D are other points of the triangulation system. The angles observed from A and B are as follows.
Angle DAB = 27° 30', angles CAB = 78°30', angle CBA = 52° and angle DBC 30°30'
1.) Compute the Distance CB
2.) Compute the Distance DB
3.) Comoute the Distance DC
4.) Find the area of each triangle and the total area
Situation No. 2: A and B are two points located on cach bank of a river and near the abutments
of a proposed bridge. To determine its distance, a baseline CD 180m long was established on one
bank of the river and the transit was set up at station C and D and the azimuth were taken as
follows.
