    Here are the Seven important rules (Methods) used
    for the calculation of areas in Surveying:

    • Average ordinate rule


    • Midpoint ordinate rule
    • Trapezoidal rule
    • Simpson’s rule
    • Graphical rule
    • By using planimeter
    • By Coordinates

    • Solution:

    0+2.5+3.5+5+4.6+3.2+0
    Area = ( )× 60 = 161.14𝑚2

    Example: The following offsets were taken from a chain line to an
    irregular boundary line at an interval of 10 m: 0, 2.50, 3.50, 5.00, 4.60,
    3.20, 0 m
    Compute the area between the chain line, the irregular boundary line
    and the end of offsets by the trapezoidal rule

    By Trapezoidal rule

    Required area = {(0+0)+2(2.50+3.50+5.00+4.60+3.20)}

    Example: The following offsets are taken from a survey line to a curves
    boundary line:
    Chainage (m) 0 5 10 15 20 30 40 60 80

    Offsets (m) 2.5 3.8 4.6 5.2 6.1 4.7 5.8 3.9 2.2

    Find the area enclosed by survey line, boundary line and the first and
    the last offsets by
    a) The trapezoidal rule
    b) Simpson’s rule

    Graphical Method

    • Calculate area of one box in graph paper (a)


    • Estimate numbers of boxes (n)
    • Map Scale = 1 : S
    • Approximate total map area = 𝑎 × 𝑛
    • Approximate total actual area = 𝑎 × 𝑛 × 𝑠 2
    26
    Example
    Along X-axis, 1 unit = 1 cm
    Along Y-axis, 1 unit = 1 cm
    Map Scale = 1 : 1000
    Find the approximate plot area?

    Solution:
    Area of 1 box (a) = 1 × 1 = 1 𝑐𝑚2
    Approximate numbers of boxes (n) ≈ 42.5
    Map scale = 1 : 1000
    Approximate plot area = 1 × 42.5 × 10002 = 4.25 × 107 𝑐𝑚2 = 4250𝑚2

    27
    Home Work-4:

    Along X-axis, 1 unit = 2 cm


    Along Y-axis, 1 unit = 1 cm
    Map Scale = 1 : 800
    Find the approximate plot area?

    Find the area of a hexagonal plot ABCDEF whose actual
    coordinates (in meters) are A(0,0), B(100,0), C(150,100),
    D(50,150), E(0, 100) and F(-50,-50). Find the area of the plot.
