You are assigned to carry out a closed traverse survey on a piece of paddy field land filled with backfill soil. The land area is approximately 70 m by 80 m with no distractions on site such as trees or buildings. There is a limitation to the budget and high accuracy may not be necessary. Based on the information obtained above, explain the most suitable type of surveying equipment to be used on this piece of land and why? Then, with an aid of a diagram, explain the method of survey that you are going to use to plot a map of this site.

Given in the accompanying tabulation are the observed data for a closed traverse obtained from a transit-tape survey. Determine the following quantities: latitude and departure of each course, linear error of closure, bearing of the side of error, and the precision of the measurements. Tabulate observed and computed values according to usual format.
5. In Figure 2, it is required to determine the length of line AB; however, along the route, a marsh obstructs the taping operation. This makes direct measurement impossible. Develop a taping strategy (induding formulas and analysis) to indirectly obtain the required measurement. Again, surveyor's tape is the only surveying instrument available [Hint: you may establish a point X in an arbitrary location]. Inaccesible MAR SH Figure 2
5. 6. a. what is the estimated total error? b. what is the probable total error if the random error is ± 0.006 m per length? 3. A surveying crew or party is capable of taping distances with an estimated probable error of ± 0.005 for each 30.000 m distance. What estimated total error should be expected if a distance of 1400 m is measured? 4. It is desired to tape a distance of 360 m with a total estimated probable error of not more than ± 0.006 m. a. How accurately should 30.000 m distance be measured so that the permissible value is not exceeded? How accurately should each 30.000 m distance have be measured so that the estimated total error would not exceed 0.050 m in a total distance of 600 m2 b. The interior angles of a nine-sided polygon are being measured with a theodolite (surveying instrument for measuring angles). Specifications require that the total estimated probable error may not exceed ± 60 seconds. How accurately must each angle be measured? Perform the math indicated…
