Coordinates of O from S and D (FL/FR)
Short answer
Find mean horizontal angles, compute base SD length 2649.166 m and bearing 126°12'57". By sine rule, SO = 4162.625 m, bearing 201°16'19", giving O = 625954.540 m E, 3063049.450 m N.
Determine the coordinate of new station "O" from the data observed below: Point 'O' is south from S and D.
| Inst. Stn. | Sighted to | Horizontal angles FL | Horizontal angles FR | Easting (m) | Northing (m) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | D | 0°0'0" | 180°0'0" | 627464.712 | 3066928.474 |
| O | 75°3'22" | 255°3'22" | |||
| D | O | 0°0'0" | 180°0'0" | 629602.054 | 3065363.275 |
| S | 68°36'18" | 248°36'18" |
The horizontal angles are the means of face left and face right: at S, (both faces agree); at D, (both faces agree). O lies south of the line SD. Coordinates are (Easting, Northing).

Step 1: Length and bearing of the base SD
Step 2: Triangle SDO
By the sine rule:
Step 3: Bearings and coordinates
O is south of SD, i.e. on the right-hand side when facing from S to D, so the bearing of SO = bearing of SD + 75°03'22" .
Check from D: bearing of DO , giving m and m (the same).
Answer: coordinates of O = (625954.540 E, 3063049.450 N).
