) Interior Angles
AB 75∘14′47"
  521.674 A=12∘25′31"

### Closed-Polygon Traverse Data

The table below presents the data for a closed-polygon traverse, commonly used in surveying to determine the perimeter and angles of areas.

| Course | Azimuth        | Length (m) | Interior Angles     |
|--------|----------------|------------|---------------------|
| AB     | 75°14'47''     | 521.674    | A = 12°25'31''      |
| BC     | -              | 454.765    | B = 48°19'25''      |
| CD     | -              | 435.926    | C' = 126°37'24''    |
| DE     | -              | 426.558    | D = 46°03'36''      |
| EA     | -              | 109.434    | E = 306°34'19''     |

#### Explanation of the Table Columns:

1. **Course:** This column indicates the segments of the traverse, labeled as AB, BC, CD, DE, and EA.
2. **Azimuth:** The azimuth is the compass direction from one point to another and is provided in degrees (°), minutes ('), and seconds (''). Only the azimuth for segment AB is given as 75°14'47''.
3. **Length (m):** The length of each course or segment is given in meters (m).
4. **Interior Angles:** The interior angles at each vertex of the polygon are specified in degrees (°), minutes ('), and seconds ('').

This data aids in the precise mapping and calculation of areas within the polygon, essential for multiple applications in civil engineering, geography, and urban planning.

Select the correct set of preliminary azimuths from the given options:

- ☐ \( AZ_{AB} = 57^\circ14'47", \, AZ_{BC} = 303^\circ34'09", \, AZ_{CD} = 250^\circ11'30", \, AZ_{DE} = 116^\circ15'03", \, AZ_{EA} = 242^\circ49'19" \)
- ☐ \( AZ_{AB} = 75^\circ14'47", \, AZ_{BC} = 313^\circ34'09", \, AZ_{CD} = 25^\circ11'30", \, AZ_{DE} = 116^\circ10'00", \, AZ_{EA} = 224^\circ49'19" \)
- ☐ \( AZ_{AB} = 75^\circ14'47", \, AZ_{BC} = 303^\circ34'09", \, AZ_{CD} = 250^\circ11'30", \, AZ_{DE} = 116^\circ15'03", \, AZ_{EA} = 242^\circ49'19" \)
- ☐ \( AZ_{AB} = 75^\circ00'47", \, AZ_{BC} = 303^\circ00'09", \, AZ_{CD} = 250^\circ00'30", \, AZ_{DE} = 116^\circ00'03", \, AZ_{EA} = 242^\circ00'19" \)
