Assignment 1: Land Surveying

Assignment 1 is due on June 14, 2024, and was given on June 6, 2024.
The assignment consists of six tasks: extracting coordinates, computing distances, computing areas, computing bearings, and computing internal angles.

Tasks

Extract coordinates of points A, B, C, and D using the provided table/diagram and present in a table with headings Point Name, Eastings, Northings, and Remarks.
Compute distances AB, BC, CD, DA, AC, and BD using the extracted coordinates and present in a table.
Compute areas of triangles ACB and ADC, and their sum, as well as the area enclosed by quadrilateral ABCD using Heron's Formula or rule.
Compute areas of triangles ADB and DCB, and their sum, as well as the area of rectangle ABCD using Heron's Formula.
Compute bearings of lines AB, BC, CD, DA, AC, and BD using the extracted coordinates and/or distances and present in a table.
Compute internal angles at A, B, C, and D, and their sum, using the extracted coordinates or bearings and present in a table.

Instructions

The assignment is a group assignment to be done and submitted within the practical periods.
The assignment should be done manually on A4 sheets or in a group assignment notebook.
The finished assignment should be scanned or captured in a clear legible manner and saved as one file in pdf format on a pen-drive.
The file name should consist of the assignment number, class, group number, year, and course name.
The cover sheet should indicate the department, class, course code and name, and the name, index number, and signature of every member in the group.
The originals of A4 sheets or notebooks and the pen-drives should be submitted to the course instructor through the class representatives.
All assignments and practicals should be compiled and submitted in both hard copies and soft copies.

An assignment on land surveying principles, focusing on coordinate computations from chapter 1 of the handout. Students are required to extract information from a provided table/diagram and create their own diagrams/illustrations.
