Linear misclosure is the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose sides are the misclosure in latitude and the misclosure in departure. For example:
The precision of a traverse is expressed as the ratio of linear misclosure divided by the traverse perimeter length.
It is expressed in reciprocal form
For example,
0.89 / 2466.05 = 0.00036090
1 / 0.00036090 = 2770.8
Precision = 1 : 2771
