BEARING

When you want to move from one position to another, you not only need to know how far you
have to travel but you need to know the direction. One way of describing directions is the
bearing.

All bearings are measured clockwise from the north direction.

A bearing can be described as an angle that is measured clockwise from the north. The angle is
always shown using three digits and may also be called a three-figure bearing.

Write the bearing of B from A-
