Question

Also known as the Bowditch method, the compass rule 10 (A) assumes that the ratio of a leg's correction to the total traverse correction is equal to the ratio of leg length to the total traverse length with the signs reversed (B) (C) adjusts only the traverse distances such that the sum of the squares is a minimum (D) minimizes the sum of the squares of the differences between the unadjusted and adjusted measurements (angles and distances) distributes the closure error according to the absolute values of the latitudes and departures

Explanation / Answer

Option A is correct. It assumes that the ratio of a leg's correct to the total traverse correction is equal to the ratio of leg length to the total traverse length with the signs reversed.
