2. The chief of party divides the field area into convenient
triangular components and calls them A1 ,A2 and A3.
3. For third use the basic formula in C the herons formula to
compute the field and designate this as the base of the
triangle.
4. Record the lengths of the three sides of each triangles.
5. Repeat procedures 3-5 with the rest of the triangular
components until the data is complete.
COMPUTATIONS:
A= area of the triangle
B= Base of the triangle
H= Altitude of the triangle
A= area of the triangle
b and a = random two sides of the triangle
sin = sine of the included angle of the measured sides a and b

A= area in triangle in square meters
S = half perimeter of triangle
a,b and c= sides of the triangles
PRINCIPLE
There are several ways that we can measure the distance of the ground. It
can be accomplished by breaking the tape method, by making a irregular
polygon. A horizontal line of sight is established if the bubble is centered
while sigthing through the tube. This device is simply a level adopted for
measuring vertical angles. Vertical aide is acted on where angles are read.
It gives the value and the slope in terms of arc measure.

CONCLUSION
Based on my own observation to get more accurate results you
need to measure the measurement slowly and carefully to obtain
better results. You may also measure along the ground on a. But
to obtain horizontal distances, you will need to correct these
ground measurements afterwards by using correct mathematical
formulas . As an additional information we must also apply the
value of patience in making the task because the location is
outside so expect extreme heat or rain. Calculate all solutions
properly and make the distance measured more accurate. We
need to be patient and follow all the procedures carefully to make
the measurement accurate.
