Surveying Angles and Traverses Quiz

What type of angles are measured inside a polygon?

• Exterior Angles

• Interior Angles

• Horizontal Angles

• Vertical Angles

What is the formula to calculate the sum of all interior angles of a polygon?

• 180∘×n

• (n−2)×180∘

• (n+2)×180∘

• 360∘×n

Which of the following angles is observed clockwise from a reference meridian?

• Bearing

• Interior Angle

• Azimuth

• Deflection Angle

What does the term "bearing" refer to in surveying?

• The total angle of a polygon

• The acute angle between a reference meridian and a line

• The angle measured vertically

• The sum of interior angles

What is the azimuth of a line that is oriented 75° from north?

• 75°

• 105°

• 255°

• 345°

In surveying, what is the latitude of a point?

• The east-west position of the point

• The north-south position of the point

• The angle measured vertically

• The angle measured horizontally

What does "departure" refer to in surveying?

• The north-south position of a line

• The east-west position of a line

• The angle between two lines

• The total distance of a survey

Which type of traverse consists of lines that do not return to the starting point?

• Closed Traverse

• Open Traverse

• Linked Traverse

• Loop Traverse

What is the primary use of a closed traverse in surveying?

• To measure distances only

• To provide checks on observed angles and distances

• To create artistic representations

• To connect points without measurement

In a closed loop traverse, what is true about the starting and ending points?

• They are different points.

• They can vary in elevation.

• They are the same point.

• They must be predetermined.
