transit

Given the accompanying tabulation are

the observed data for a traverse
obtained from a transit-tape survey.
Determine the following
a.latitudes and departures of each
course and balance these quantities by
employing the transit rule.
b.Linear error of closure.
c.Relative error of closure.
d.Corrected bearing and side of each
course.
