    The document describes a fieldwork assignment to determine the area of a tract of land using a transit and tape. Students will establish corner points of the land parcel and take angular and linear measurements to divide the parcel into triangles. They will then calculate the area of each triangle using trigonometric formulas and sum the triangular areas to determine the total area of the land parcel.

    INSTRUCTOR
    FIELDWORK No. : 3 RATING : __________
    TITLE : DETERMINING THE AREA OF A TRACT OF
    DATE OF SURVEY : __________
    LAND BY TRANSIT AND TAPE
    OBJECTIVES : 1. To apply the different principles on how to
    operate the Engineer’s transit and its different GROUP NO. : __________
    parts
    2. To measure horizontal angles using the
    horizontal scale and Vernier
    3. To compute the area of a closed field using the
    principles of trigonometry and geometry

    LEARNING
    : The student will be able to:
    OUTCOMES
    1. Develop skills in measuring angles using the
    Transit.
    2. Determine the area of a closed polygon using the
    principles of trigonometry and surveying
    techniques.

    A. INSTRUMENTS & ACCESORIES


    1 – Engineer’s Transit 1 – Magnifying Glass
    1 – Tripod 6 - Flaglets
    1 – Measuring Tape Chalks / Markers
    1 – Range Pole

    B. PROCEDURE
    1. Establish corners of the designated field and mark these corners as A, B, C, D, and E with flaglets.
    2. Establish a point (station) at the center of the field and mark this as point F with a flaglet. Station F will
    subdivide the field into a series of triangles as shown in the figure below.
    3. Set up and level the Engineer’s Transit at station F.
    4. Set the reading in the horizontal scale to zero. Lock the upper clamp to preserve the initial reading
    (zero-reading) and unlock the lower clamp to allow movement of the upper plate.
    5. Sight corner A then lock the lower clamp. Unlock the upper clamp to allow reading of the horizontal
    scale. Rotate the upper plate and sight corner B to obtain the included angle ƟA. Lock the upper clamp
    to preserve the reading. Record the obtained data in the accompanying table.
    6. Repeat steps d and e for included angles ƟB, ƟC, ƟD, and ƟE and record each obtained data in the
    accompanying table.
    7. Measure sides AF, BF, CF, DF, EF. Record the obtained distances in the accompanying table.

    D. COMPUTATIONS
    1. ADJUSTED INCLUDED ANGLE
    a. Compute the observed sum of all included angles.
    b. Determine the total error e by subtracting the observed sum from the theoretical sum (360°).
    c. Compute the correction per angle (corr/angle) by dividing the total error with the number of
    angles.
    d. Compute each adjusted included angle Ɵ’ by applying the correction in each angle. If the total
    error is negative, subtract. If positive, add.

    2. AREA COMPUTATION
    a. Compute the area of each triangle given two adjacent sides and an included angle from the
    formula:
    1
    𝐴= 𝑎𝑏 sin Ɵ′
    2
    b. Compute the total area of the field by adding all the computed area of each triangle.
    𝐴 𝑇 = 𝐴𝐴𝐵𝐹 + 𝐴𝐵𝐶𝐹 + 𝐴𝐶𝐷𝐹 + 𝐴𝐷𝐸𝐹 + 𝐴𝐸𝐴𝐹
