This assignment aims to provide a practical knowledge about surveying by developing many practical tasks. In addition, it will help in knowing and using important surveying equipment that are quite useful in construction sites as well as present the latest technologies regarding this essential field of civil engineering.
· Graphical Approach
To determine the area enclosed by the traverse, a polygon was drawn in the AutoCAD using the provided coordinates and then the command “Area” was used.
Figure 1 - Polygon
The Area calculated by the software was 376394.0760 m2.
· Formula Approach
The calculation was carried out using co-ordinates, the formula is:
A=|x1y2-y1x2+x2y3-y2x3+x3y4-y3x4+x4y5-y4x5+x5y1-y5x12|
Where the (x,y) values are:
