Closing Error in Traversing Formula Elements

Variables
Functions
Closing Error
Closing Error is the error formed during traverse surveying.
Symbol: e
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Sum of Latitudes
Sum of Latitudes is the algebraic sum of latitudes where latitude of a line is its projection onto the reference meridian (north-south line).
Symbol: ƩL
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Sum of Departures
Sum of Departures is the algebraic sum of departures where, departure of a line is its projection onto a line at right angles of the reference meridian.
Symbol: ƩD
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
sqrt
A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number.
Syntax: sqrt(Number)
