After the adjustment of traverse, the last step of traverse computation is to calculate adjusted (corrected) length and direction of the traverse sides. These can be obtained from adjusted values of station coordinates. Either of consecutive or independent coordinates can be used for these computations.
The distance between stations i and j is obtained from
and the azimuth of the line ij from the North is
In these computations, due consideration to the algebraic sign is to be given. The values thus found would be used in the plan or map for which survey is being conducted.
