BB=FB+/-180
Use the +ve sign when FB<180
Use the ve sign when FB> 180

Method of correction for traverse:
First method: Sum of the interior angle should be equal to (2n-4) x
90. if not than distribute the total error equally to all interior angles of
the traverse. Then starting from unaffected line the bearings of all the
lines are corrected using corrected interior angles.
from the unaffected line, the bearing of other affected lines are
corrected by finding the amount of correction at each station.
