SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating the azimuth of segment BC based on the provided azimuth of segment AB, which is given as 126°55'17''. The user calculated the back azimuth to be 306°55'17'' by adding 180° to the azimuth of AB. The confusion arises from the relationship between the angles, particularly why the azimuth of BC would exceed that of AB. The user also notes the presence of a deceptive wider arc around angle B, which complicates the interpretation of the angles involved.
