VIPSolutionsThe calculated bearings for all traverse lines of the polygon are summarized in the table below. The calculations proceed sequentially, starting with the given bearing of line AB and using the measured interior angle at each station. Summary of Traverse Bearings \[\begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline \text{Traverse Line} & \text{Bearing (Forward Bearing)} \\ \hline \text{AB} & \text{\mathbf{N \ 41^\circ 35' \ E} (Given)} \\ \hline \text{BC} & \text{\mathbf{N \ 9^\circ 14' \ W}} \\ \hline \text{CD} & \text{\mathbf{S \ 79^\circ 21' \ W}} \\ \hline \text{DE} & \text{\mathbf{S \ 31^\circ 51' \ W}} \\ \hline \text{EF} & \text{\mathbf{S \ 12^\circ 27' \ E}} \\ \hline \text{FA} & \text{\mathbf{S \ 73^\circ 35' \ E}} \\ \hline \end{array}\] Detailed Calculation Steps The bearing of the next line is found by: \text{Bearing}_{\text{Next Line}} = \text{Back Bearing}_{\text{Previous Line}} \pm \text{Interior Angle} We use Whole Circle Bearings (WCB) for easy calculation, where \text{WCB} = \text{Quadrant Bearing (QB)} for N/E lines, \text{WCB} = 180^\circ - \text{QB} for S/E lines, etc. The Back Bearing (BB) is always \text{FB} \pm 180^\circ.
