Inverse
Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-003069
To calculate the distance and bearing or azimuth between two known points in a coordinate system. This computation uses the coordinates of the two points to determine the length and direction of the line connecting them. The inverse calculation is a fundamental operation in surveying for checking field measurements, establishing property lines, and preparing legal descriptions of land parcels.
