A radial survey is a tool used for land and seafloor mapping. Each corner of the area being measured is connected to a central point.
(i) ∠BOC
Notice that ∠BOC is the difference between the bearings of B and C.
Subtract the bearing of B from the bearing of C.
∠BOC |
= |
∠C−∠B |
|
= |
139°−65° |
Substitute the values |
|
= |
74° |
(ii) ∠BOA
Notice that ∠BOA is the sum of the bearing of B and ∠NOA.
Add the bearing of B to ∠NOA.
∠BOA |
= |
∠NOA+∠B |
|
= |
63°+65° |
Substitute the values |
|
= |
128° |
(i)∠BOC=74°
(ii)∠BOA=128°

Since 2 sides are given together with an angle between them, use the Cosine Law.
First, label the triangle according to the Cosine Law.
Substitute the three known values to the Cosine Law to find the length of side BC or a.
From labelling the triangle, we know that the known values are those with labels A,b and c.
A=74°
b=49m
c=52m
a2 |
= |
b2+c2−2bccosA |
a2 |
= |
492+522−2(49)(52)cos74° |
Substitute the values |
a2 |
= |
5105−5096cos74° |
Evaluate cos 74 on your calculator |
a2 |
= |
5105−5096(0.275637) |
a2 |
= |
5105−1404.64797 |
a2 |
= |
3700.35203 |
√a2 |
= |
√3700.35203 |
Take the square root of both sides |
a |
= |
60.8305m |
a or BC |
= |
60.83m |
Round off to 2 decimal places |

Since 2 sides are given together with an angle between them, use the Cosine Law.
First, label the triangle according to the Cosine Law.
Substitute the three known values to the Cosine Law to find the length of side BA or c.
From labelling the triangle, we know that the known values are those with labels C,a and b.
C=128°
b=51m
a=52m
a2 |
= |
b2+c2−2bccosA |
c2 |
= |
b2+a2−2bacosC |
Rewrite the formula according to the given values |
c2 |
= |
512+522−2(51)(52)cos128° |
Substitute the values |
c2 |
= |
5305−5304cos128° |
Evaluate cos 128 on your calculator |
c2 |
= |
5305−5304(−0.615661475) |
c2 |
= |
5305+3265.4685 |
c2 |
= |
8570.4685 |
√c2 |
= |
√8570.4685 |
Take the square root of both sides |
c |
= |
92.5768m |
c or BA |
= |
92.58m |

A radial survey is a tool used for land and seafloor mapping. Each corner of the area being measured is connected to a central point.
To find the perimeter of the field, simply add the lengths of the sides of the field.
AO=51m
OC=49m
BC=60.83m
BA=92.58m
Perimeter |
= |
AO+OC+BC+BA |
|
= |
51+49+60.83+92.58 |
Substitute the values |
|
= |
253.41m |
