1. Bearings
Relative Bearings

2. 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…….

3. 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

4. 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

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

6. Note:
The angles between the parallel North lines will always add up to 180o. N
