CHAPTER 19: BEARING

Paper 1

Solution to Question 10

=180 150 =30

PXY = =30

ZXP =PXY
=30

Thus, bearing of Z from X =180 +30 =210

Answer: A


Solution to Question 11

FGH =55

=115 55 =60

= =60

Thus, bearing of G from F =180 +60
=240


Answer: D


Solution to Question 15


EGF =
90
2

=45

Thus, bearing of E from G =100 +45
=145
