This document discusses inverse computations and methods for calculating area in surveying. There are three main methods for calculating area when the boundaries have straight lines: 1) double meridian distance (DMD), 2) double parallel distance (DPD), and 3) using coordinates. The DMD method calculates area by finding the perpendicular distance from survey points to a reference meridian. The DPD method is similar but uses latitudes instead of departures. The coordinate method calculates the area of each polygon by treating the survey points as x-y coordinates. Examples of each method are provided.

The meridian is defined as the perpendicular distance from the midpoint of the course to some reference point usually placed through the most westerly point of the traverse.

5 DPD method
This method is similar to the DMD method except that it uses the latitudes instead of departures.
DPD each course = DPD preceding course + latitude preceding course + latitude course
