Which of the following is nearest to a synonym of "metes and bounds"?

Angles and degrees
Angles and measures
Degree of perimeters
Measures and perimeters

The correct answer is: Angles and measures

The term "metes and bounds" refers to a method of describing land by specifying its boundaries using physical features of the geography, as well as angles and distances. The key components of this system include the measurements of distances (metes) and the directions/angles along the boundaries (bounds). Having this context in mind, the option that aligns most closely with this description is the combination of "angles and measures." This choice captures the essence of what metes and bounds involve—specifying both the distances (measures) and the directional angles necessary for clearly defining the boundaries of a property. While other options may contain related terms, they do not effectively encompass both aspects (the measuring of distance and the specification of angles) central to the concept of metes and bounds. This makes the selected answer the most appropriate synonym.
