Question

Town B is 40km due north of town A.What is the bearing of A from B

Answer 1

Answer:

So we have triangle ABC with AB = 45, AC = 38, and an included angle BAC = (90 - 62) = 28°. And we're looking for BC. We can use the ...

Answer 2

The bearing of town A from town B is 90°.

Given:

Town B is 40km due north of town A.

To Find:

The bearing of A from B.

Solution:

We know,

for measuring the bearing, we need to take measurements starting from the north and move clockwise, and again end at the north.

So,

We need to start measuring clockwise from B and end it again at point B.

as the bearing is needed to be measured from A to B,

The bearing is 90° as B is exactly at the north of A.

We need to take into account the direction of measuring and starting and end point of that measuring should be from the north.

Hence, The bearing of town A from town B is 90°.
