Question

A surveyor starting from a point A moves N. 27°20′ E. a distance of 537′ 4.25″ to point B. Next, she moves N. 52°12′ E. a distance of 337′ 7.5″ to point C. Next, she walks S. 6°5′ W. a distance of 1197′ 3.25″ to point D. Finally, she returns to the starting point.

What distance must she walk to return to the starting point? (Answer accurate to the nearest quarter inch.)

_____ ft & ____ inches


What heading does she walk from the fourth point to return to the starting point? (Answer accurate to the nearest minute.)
N. _____° ________′ W.

What is the acreage of this plot of land?
area =  _______acre
Your answer should be accurate to 3 decimal places.

Notes:
* the prime symbol in an angle represents minutes: 60′ = 1°
* the prime symbol in a length represents feet; double prime = inches;
* 1 acre = 4840 yd²
* 1 acre = 43,560 ft²
* an angle like N 20 E means 20 degrees east of north.
