Question #15369
The bearing of a closed compass traverse is given as AB - 32. If the magnetic declination at the place is 3 30', determine the true bearing of the line.
Expert's answer
True bearing = magnetic bearing ± declination (using positive sign
when
declination east and negative one when declination west).
True bearing =
32 ± 3 30' = { 35 30', 28 30' }.
when
declination east and negative one when declination west).
True bearing =
32 ± 3 30' = { 35 30', 28 30' }.
