If any closed traverse, if the survey work is correct, then
A)the algebraic sum of latitudes should be equal to zero
B)the algebraic sum of departures should be equal to zero
C)the sum of northings should be equal to the sum of southings
D)all of the above

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a correctly executed closed traverse, the algebraic sum of latitudes and departures should both equal zero, which ensures that the traverse closes on itself. This means that the sum of northings equals the sum of southings (latitudes), and the sum of eastings equals the sum of westings (departures), fulfilling the conditions of both A and B, and therefore C is also implicitly true.
