Question

A field is in the form of a regular hexagon. The directions of the bounding sides were surveyed with an assumed meridian (4.5 + 0.5B)° to the right of true north. As surveyed with an assumed meridian, the bearing of one side AB is N 35°30’W. Calculate the true bearings and true azimuths of all sides.

a. The true bearing of side AB is N 36°.
b. The true bearing of side AB is N 35°30’W.
c. The true azimuth of side AB is S 35°30’.
d. The true azimuth of side AB is N 35°30’.

Answer 1

The solution requires converting the measured bearing to true bearings and azimuths after correcting for the deviation from true north, but the question lacks sufficient information.

Step-by-step explanation:

The task is to determine the true bearings and true azimuths of all sides of a regular hexagonal field when the measured bearing of one side AB is given as N 35°30’W with respect to an assumed meridian that is 4.5 + 0.5B° to the right of true north. However, the question does not provide sufficient information to complete the calculation since the value of B is unknown. In a general scenario, to find the true bearings, one would adjust the measured bearing by the difference between the assumed meridian and true north. Similarly, true azimuths can be found by converting the true bearing into an azimuth angle, remembering that azimuths are measured clockwise from true north from 0° to 360°.
