Abstract
Five years after the publication of the papers discussed in Chapter 10, Gauss (1828) published a supplement in which he considered a closely related problem that arises naturally in the context of geodetic triangulation studies.1 As an indication of the type of problem involved in this field, we consider Benoît’s (1924) simple worked example In this problem, we are given the angular bearings (in centesimal degrees relative to local origins2) of each of the four corners A, B, C, and D of a quadrilateral figure from each of the other three corners.
