Answer 1

Explanation:

Traverse Surveying:

In traverse surveys, angles are measured as part of the angular calculation for determining the positions of stations.

Counterclockwise Direction:

If the direction of progress in the survey is counterclockwise, the angles measured between two consecutive lines are considered included angles.
These are the angles that are measured on the inside of the traverse, in the counterclockwise direction.

Included Angles:

When traversing in the counterclockwise direction, the angle between the two lines at the station is the included angle, meaning the angle formed on the inside of the boundary.

Additional Information Traverse Surveying:

Traverse surveying is a method used in land surveying to establish control points by measuring horizontal and vertical angles between successive survey lines, and/or their lengths.
The method consists of a sequence of straight lines (called traverse legs) connecting each station or point to the next.
The main goal of traverse surveying is to accurately define the boundaries or layout of a survey area.
