AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on calculating the azimuth of line BC based on provided angles. The user questions the azimuth of AB being 126 degrees, noting it seems close to a full revolution. They calculated the back azimuth as 306°55'17'' and added the interior angle at point B, resulting in 178°18'58". Confusion arises regarding how the azimuth of BC could exceed that of AB, and clarification is sought on the interpretation of the angles. The user confirms that the 126°55'17'' is a bearing from North, seeking validation of their calculations.

Homework Statement


In the attachment. Need to calculate azimuth of BC.

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution


I don't understand why the azimuth of AB would be given as 126 degrees when it is almost a complete revolution of 360 degrees. I calculated the back azimuth which would be 306°55'17''. (126°55'17"+180°=306°55'17'').I added the interior B angle and got 178°18'58". But how could the of BC be greater then AB? Please help me. Thanks!

There is a B arc labelled angle B and then there is a wider arc around that B arc. That wider arc is completely deceptive.

The 126 55 17 is a bearing from N.
 
Thanks for replying. Does that mean my answer is correct?
