Question
The reduced bearing of a m long line is N E. The departure of the line is
Correct answer
(D) 5.00 m
Solution
Given:
Length of the line () = m
Reduced Bearing () = N EIn surveying, the departure () of a line is its projection on the East-West axis, calculated as:Since the bearing is in the North-East quadrant, the departure is positive (East).
