Here are the answers to your questions.

Section B: Short Answer Questions

1. True and False Questions

• i. A bearing of $045^\circ$ points to the North-East direction.

  • North is $000^\circ$, East is $090^\circ$. North-East is exactly halfway between North and East, which is $045^\circ$.
  • True

• ii. Bearings can only be measured on large-scale maps.

  • Bearings can be measured on any map scale, provided a North direction is indicated. The scale affects the represented distance, not the angular measurement.
  • False

• iii. A protractor is the most suitable tool to measure bearings on a map.

  • A protractor is specifically designed for measuring angles, making it suitable for measuring bearings on a map.
  • True

• iv. Bearings are usually written as 3-digit numbers.

  • Bearings are conventionally expressed as three-figure bearings (e.g., $005^\circ$, $045^\circ$, $180^\circ$).
  • True

• v. The bearing of south is 180 degrees.

  • North is $000^\circ$. Measuring clockwise from North, South is exactly $180^\circ$.
  • True
