Bearings

Un bearing es un ángulo que se mide en sentido horario desde el norte y se escribe usando tres dígitos.

Ejemplos:

1) Un barco viaja 20 Km en un bearing de 2) En la figura, diremos que el bearing de B

140° desde el punto A, hasta llegar al desde A es 052° y el bearing de A desde B
punto B. Esta situación se puede es 232°
bosquejar de la siguiente forma:

Exercise 2:
3. Bosquejar la siguiente situación: Un avión vuela 300 Km desde un punto A en un bearing de 090° hasta
llegar a B, luego 100 km en un bearing de 060° hasta llegar a C.
