Balancing angles in a polygon with angular error of closure

[raiderUM]

Homework Statement

I'm working on trying to determine the angular error of closure and balance the angles by applying equal corrections to each angle

112.00.00
92.52.30
107.13.30
119.08.00
108.48.30

total of 540.02.30

each angle needs corrected by needs corrected by 0.02.30?

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

Do I just subtract 0.02.30 from each angle? or in my notes it looks like the prof converted them into inches then in another problem looks like he divided 12 seconds by 6 and got 2... so confused. please help

It's not at all clear to me what you are doing.

Is the total supposed to be 540°?

If you did that, then the total would be reduced by 12' 30''

or in my notes it looks like the prof converted them into inches then in another problem looks like he divided 12 seconds by 6 and got 2... so confused. please help

I don't see where inches enter into this at all. You might be confused by the notation for minutes and seconds, which is the same notation that is used for feet and inches. For example, 540° 2' 30'' is 540 degrees 2 minutes and 30 seconds.

Can you clarify what you're trying to do?
