1. BEARINGS

2. Bearings are always measured clockwise from the north line.

3. 1 Find the bearing of A from B.
Draw a north line at B.
Join B to A. A
Measure the angle clockwise from the north line. B
Bearing of A from B =
075o

4. 2 Find the bearing of Q from P.
Draw a north line at P.
Join P to Q.
Measure the angle clockwise from the north line. P Q
Bearing of Q from P =
110o

5. 3 Find the bearing of Y from X.
Draw a north line at X.
Join X to Y.
Measure the angle clockwise from the north line. X Y
Bearing of Y from X =
230o

6. 4 The bearing of A from B is 060o.
Find the bearing of B from A. N
Draw a diagram to show the positions of A and B. N
Draw a north line at A.
Find the angle measured clockwise from the north line at A. A
60o
60o B
Bearing of B from A =
180o + 60o = 240o

7. 5 The bearing of Q from P is 250o.
Find the bearing of P from Q. N N
Draw a diagram to show the positions of P and Q.
Draw a north line at Q.
Find the angle measured clockwise from the north line at Q.
250o P
70o
70o Q
Bearing of P from Q =
070o

8. the angles between them. N
The diagram shows three straight roads connecting points A, B and C and
the angles between them. N

a Find the bearing of C from B.
Bearing of C from B = 360 – ( ) =
135o
b Find the bearing of A from C.
Bearing of A from C = 360 – ( ) =
280o
