Included Angle from Two Lines Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Included Angle = Fore Bearing of Previous Line-Back Bearing of Previous Line
θ = α-β
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Included Angle - (Measured in Radian) - Included Angle is the interior angle between two lines considered.
Fore Bearing of Previous Line - (Measured in Radian) - Fore Bearing of Previous Line is the forward bearing measured for the line along the survey direction.
Back Bearing of Previous Line - (Measured in Radian) - Back Bearing of Previous Line is the back bearing measured during compass survey for the line behind the compass.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Fore Bearing of Previous Line: 90 Degree --> 1.5707963267946 Radian (Check conversion here)
Back Bearing of Previous Line: 30 Degree --> 0.5235987755982 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

θ = α-β --> 1.5707963267946-0.5235987755982

Evaluating ... ...

θ = 1.0471975511964

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.0471975511964 Radian -->60 Degree (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

60 Degree <-- Included Angle

How the interior angle is calculated using above equation?

In the process of calculating the included angle, if the value is a negative one, add 360° to get the actual included angle which will be the exterior included angle. When traversing is done anticlockwise, the included angles are interior, whereas in the case of clockwise traversing, these are the exterior ones. These are always measured clockwise from the preceding line to the forward line.

How to Calculate Included Angle from Two Lines?
