Ge 135 - Fundamentals of Surveying and Mapping

This document provides instructions for determining the area of a rectilinear field using a tape. The objective is to measure horizontal angles and calculate the area. Field notes include observed chord distances and computed included angles. Computations show deriving the angle formula and calculating individual angles. The total angle sum is computed and a discrepancy is found. A correction is applied to adjust each angle. The adjusted angles are used to determine the final area.
