Which of the following description uses terminal points and angles to describe a parcel of land?

The description that uses terminal points and angles to define a parcel of land is metes and bounds. This method of surveying describes a property by outlining its boundaries with specific measurements and directions. It employs physical features of the geography (natural landmarks) and surveyor-established points to create a delineated shape for the parcel.

Metes refer to the measurements of distances, typically in feet, while bounds indicate the direction and angles of the boundaries. This system is particularly useful for irregularly shaped parcels of land where traditional grid methods might not apply. By explicitly defining points and angles, metes and bounds provides a precise and clear description of the property's extent.

In contrast, other methods such as lot and block focus on subdivisions mapped out in recorded plans and the government survey system employs a grid-based approach using townships and ranges. A street address, while useful for locating a piece of property, does not provide the geometric precision necessary to convey land boundaries in the way that metes and bounds does.
