Find the distance and bearing | Trigonometric Word Problem

The video tutorial explains how to solve a problem involving walking a path in two directions and calculating the direct distance back home using the Pythagorean theorem. It further explores how to determine the correct bearing to return home using trigonometric functions, specifically focusing on the tangent inverse function to find the angle and adjust it to get the correct bearing.
