Part a· 3 steps
Calculate the bearing of A from B
Find the angle in .
The sum of angles in a triangle is .
Given and .Determine the bearing of C from B.
Since A is due north of C, the line segment CA is a North-South line.
Draw a North line at B, parallel to CA. Let be the North direction from B.
The angle and the angle between the South line from B (let's call it ) and BC are alternate interior angles.
So, the angle from the South line at B to BC is .
The bearing of C from B is measured clockwise from the North line at B. This is (to the South line) plus the angle.Calculate the bearing of A from B.
The bearing of A from B is the bearing of C from B minus the angle , because A is counter-clockwise from C, relative to B.
The bearing of A from B is .
Part b
Calculate the bearing of B from A
Identify the North line at A.
Since A is due north of C, the line segment AC is a North-South line. The North direction from A points away from C. The line segment AC itself represents the South direction from A.
Calculate the bearing of B from A.
The bearing of B from A is measured clockwise from the North line at A to the line AB.
The angle from the North line at A, clockwise to the South line at A (which is AC), is .
We found . This angle is between the South line (AC) and the line AB.
Since AB is to the "left" (west) of the South line (AC), we subtract this angle from .The bearing of B from A is .
