03 Know that distances can be measured in miles or

kilometres, and that a kilometre is approximately of a mile or a
"
mile is 1.6 kilometres.
8Gp.01 Understand and use bearings as a measure of direction.

REVIEW

44 + 25 + 41 + 95 = 205 miles
Convert miles to Kilometers (1mile = 1.6 Kilometres and 1Kilometre = 5/8 miles)
205 x 1.6 = 328 Km
Bearings
! A bearing is an angle measure clockwise from North. We use 3 digits.

Historical reason for 3 digits?

Bearings used to be transmitted
digit by digit from ship to ship.
E B Were some bearings two digits,

?
it would be ambiguous whether
two digits was intended or a
digit was lost in transmission.

the other object,?we add or
subtract 180°.
