a. Sum of angles about each station is equal to 360°.

CHAIN OF QUADRILATERAL

Step 1: STATION ADJUSTMENT

A: ANGLE CONDITION

Step 2: FIGURE ADJUSTMENT

a. The sine of each angle should be proportional to the length of the opposite side of that triangle.

B: SIDE CONDITION

a. Sum of interior angles equals to 360°.

b. Opposite angles at the intersection of diagonals should be equal.

1. Adjust the angles by simple adjustment method.
