Computation of Area
One of the objectives of land surveying is to determine the area of the land surveyed.
- • To measure area of the plot, first draw the map using plane table methods.
- • Divide the entire figure into a number of triangles.
- • Area of each triangle is calculated using mathematical formula.
- • Areas of all such triangles are added to get the area of the field measured.
- • The base and altitude of each triangle are scaled and its area is found by multiplying half the base by the altitude.
Advantages & Disadvanges of Plane Table survey
Advantages of Plane Table Survey:
- 1) It is most suitable for preparing small scale maps.
- 2) It is most rapid.
- 3) No great skill is required to prepare a satisfactory map.
Disadvantages of Plane Table Survey:
- 1) It is heavy to carry.
- 2) It is not intended for accurate work.
- InText Questions 1.2
- 1) What is the formula for finding the area of triangle?
- 2) Find out the area of triangle of side 3cm,3.2cm,6cm?( fig of the triangle)
- State True /False:
- 3) Height of triangle is called altitude of triangle (…................)
- 4) Plane table is intended for the accurate work (....................)
