Question 1
Using the diagram below:
1(a):
What is the bearing of A from B?
ANSWER: Simple Text Answer
Answer: 315\degree
Workings:
Angles at a point equal 360\degree.
360 - 45 = 315\degree
Marks = 1
1(b):
What is the bearing of B from A?
ANSWER: Simple Text Answer
Answer: 135\degree
Workings:
Angles at a point equal 360\degree.
360 - 225 = 135\degree
Marks = 1
Question 2
Using the diagram
2(a):
What is the bearing of B from A?
ANSWER: Simple Text Answer
Answer: 60\degree
Workings:
Right angles equal 90\degree.
90 - 30= 60\degree
Give bearing as 060\degree
Marks = 1
2(b):
What is the bearing of A from B
ANSWER: Simple Text Answer
Answer: 240\degree
Workings:
Angles in a triangle equal 180\degree
180 - 90 - 30 = 60\degree
180 + 60 = 240\degree
Marks = 1
