(a) Explain the term Traversing
(b) A traverse along a path in a school compound produced the following field records:
| LINE | LENGTH (in metres) | BEARING |
| AB | 100 | 70º |
| BC | 350 | 120º |
| CD | 120 | 85º |
| DE | 75 | 55º |
Use the field records above to plot the path on a scale of 1 cm to 50 metres
(c) What is the distance, in metres, between A and E along the traverse line?
(a) Traversing; Traversing is a survey method whereby series of straight lines are constructed and the bearings and distances are measured. It is a method of fixing points by reading their bearing relative to one another and measuring the distances between them.
(b) Traverse along a path in a school compound.
(c) Distances between A and E is the sum of the lengths 100 + 350 + 120 + 75 metres = 645 metres
