The azimuth of a line was determined by observing the altitude of a star from the western hemisphere on Aug. 19, 2006. The line is located in an area with a latitude of 48°15'24". The star was observed to have a zenith angle of 32°44’56", declination of 10°26°37", and horizontal reading of 113°16'07". Calculate the corrected azimuth of the line.
