Instrumentation VII: Applications of Angle Measurement [0:23]
$10.00
Types of angles that can be measured such as interior, exterior, and deflection are discussed. Emphasis is placed on being able to convert from one type of angle to another by analyzing the figure with a simple sketch. Problems are worked on covering this aspect. We conclude with how to determine angular closure error by knowing what the theoretic values are for a closed figure where the angles have been measured in different ways. Running time 23 minutes.
