FUNDAMENTALS OF SURVEYING 2
Self-Pace Module
Module 3 PARTITION OF LAND ( SUBDIVISION OF LAND)
Topics 1.Dividing an Area Into Two Parts by a Line Between Two Points
2. Dividing an Area by A Line Running Through A Point in a Given Direction
3. To Cut off a Required Area by a Line through a Given Point
4. To Cut of a Required Area by a Line Running in a Given Direction
Overview: This module will presents computations common cases encountered in
partition and subdivision of land.
Duration: Week 10-12 (3 weeks)
Targeting Learning Outcomes
Course Intended Learning -Compute for the technical data of subdivided land
Outcomes - Subdivide the land by given line or required area
Essential Questions Why does engineer or surveyor needs to know the process of
subdividing the land
Learning Targets At the end of this module, you should be able to learn how to subdivide
lots thru given line or required area

Introduction
The subdivision of land is a usual task undertaken by surveyors and engineers in
property surveys. When tracts of land are sold or inherited it is often necessary to divide it
into smaller parcels or into areas having certain proportions to each other. The process of
subdivision may require the application of the principles of geometry and trigonometry or use
of special techniques in computations or engineering software (CAD, GE Survey, Spreadsheets
etc).
For various cases in subdividing land, a resurvey is conducted, the latitudes and
departures are determined, the surveyed traversed is adjusted and the areas are computed.
When computing for subdivision of land, the adjusted latitudes and departures are used.
, CASE 1. Dividing an Area into Two Parts by a Line Between Two Points
Example: Given the following data of tract of land, determine the area of a line running from F
to C and calculate the length and bearing of line FC
