Problems Involving Bearings 1

What is the bearing from the base to the space rock?

• 90 degrees

• 180 degrees

• 330 degrees

• 150 degrees

What does the term 'from' indicate in the context of bearings?

• The distance to travel

• The direction of travel

• The ending point of measurement

• The starting point of measurement

Where do we draw the North axis ?

• Space Rock

• Base

• Neither

So, what do we do next?

• Assume the bearing we need is 30 degrees

• Assume the bearing we need is 150 degrees

• Draw the North axis at S

How do we find the unknown bearing in this problem?

• By using a compass

• By using parallel lines and angles

• By measuring directly

• By guessing

What is the bearing of the base from the space rock?

• 90 degrees

• 270 degrees

• 330 degrees

• 150 degrees

Why are the bearings from the base to the space rock and from the space rock to the base not equal?

• They are measured in different directions

• They are measured at different times

• They are the same

• They are both 180 degrees
