Bearings Relative Bearings

Bearings Draw a north line at the observation point. Measure the clockwise angle from the north. All bearings should be three figures; 078o, 121o etc…….

Example 1: Find the bearing of; (a) B from A (b) A from B (a) B from A = 118o (b) A from B = 360 – 62 = 298o

Example 2: Find the bearing of; (a) Y from X (b) X from Y (a) Y from X = 082o (b) X from Y = 360 – 98 = 262o

Example 2: Find the bearing of; (a) M from N (b) N from M = 360 – 133 = 227o (b) N from M = 047o

Note: The angles between the parallel North lines will always add up to 180o. N 47O 133O M N 82O 98O Y X
