The small triangle formed when three resection lines fail to meet at a point is called

  • A.a bearing offset
  • B.a survey residual
  • C.a triangle of error
  • D.a closing traverse

Answer: C

Correct answer: a triangle of error

Three resection lines rarely meet exactly, because each bearing carries a small error. The resulting triangle bounds the observer’s position, and the smaller it is the better the fix. A large triangle indicates a mistake rather than mere imprecision - commonly a misidentified feature or a bearing taken to the wrong point.
