Given answer is correct. Latitude is equal to product of length and cosine. So by multiplying secant with latitude it remains only length because secant is inverse of cosine.

Latitude = Length * cosine then,
Length = Latitude * 1/cosine,
Hence, Length=Latitude * secant.
So, the given answer is right.

Reduced Bearing is the angle between the traverse leg and the latitude.

So, the Given answer is correct.

Gurjant Singh said:   5 years ago
Latitude (L) =l cos.
So,
If we find the length.
l*1/cos.
That is l*sec.
So, the given answer is right.

Latitude=length * cosine. So length= latitude* Secant. So given answer is right.

The given Answer is correct as they ask length not latitude.

Ruchir said:   7 years ago
Latitude= L* COS θ.
so, L=latitude * sec θ.

Sagar said:   6 years ago
L = (latitude square + departure square) rest to 0.5.
