@jim-frame I have a half dozen versions I use for cadastral work. The approximations match precise compution well and help isolate probable sources of error.
done correctly, aught to work just fine

@jph I also backsight from whence I came. And usually do a stake to another point just to make sure there was no angular error.

A good exercise is to perform a strength of figure calculation using stanard formulas from old geodesy text books.
Could you post a figure of strength calculation?
perform a strength of figure calculation using stanard formulas from old geodesy text books. It will open your eyes to the other effects of geometry
The strength of figure I remember seeing only used angle measurements for propagating one known side.
Did you do it with all measured distances?
