A shaft is to be sunk at a point D which is at the middle of AB. As it is impossible to measure
along AB directly, the point D is to be fixed from another point C whose coordinates are 1760
Im northing and 1395 m easting.
Calculate
(a) the coordinates of D,
(b) the length and bearing of CD, and
TH
(c) the angle ACD, if the bearing of AC is 38°30' east of north.
