8: OMITTED MEASUREMENTS

NOTE: Read and understand each statement carefully. Five phrases, or figures follow each statement and only one
of which may be the correct answer. If, however, as answer is not listed among the five choices given, indicate an
X-mark in your answer sheet on all the given choices for the particular number. Questions requiring numerical
computations and answers must be accompanied by fully illustrated solutions in order to be credited. Do not write
anything or make any identifying marks on the questionnaire, and submit it back upon completion of the
examination.

1. When the length or direction of a line within a closed traverse cannot be determined by field observation, these
missing quantities may be determined analytically to obtain a complete set of notes for the traverse provided
a) there are only three or more unknown quantities
b) they do net exceed two unknown quantities
c) the sides with unknown quantities are parts of an adjusted open traverse
d) the sides with unknown quantities are non-adjoining
e) the linear error of closure is. less than the square root of the total length of the traverse

2. When the two sides of a closed traverse are non-adjoining, the determination of the unknown quantities is
undertaken with an added graphical solution. For example, a line (or lines) may be moved from one location to a
second location parallel with the first. This principle is adapted since the
a) area of the traverse remains constant
b) latitude and departure of any of the lines moved remains unchanged
c) coordinates of all points or corners defining the traverse will correspondingly be adjusted
d) linear error of closure will remain invariable
e) precision in the computations will not be affected

3. Whether the sides of a closed traverse with unknown quantities are adjoining or non-adjoining, it must be
definite that the algebraic sum of the latitudes and the algebraic sum of the departures must be zero,
a) and correspondingly the sum of the residuals must also be a minimum
b) the length of each course is proportional to the total length of the traverse
c) provided the sides are arranged an proper order or sequence
d) regardless of the order in which the sides are placed
e) and the area of the transformed figure is proportional to the originally computed area
