Note : When just a bearing in degrees is given , it means that North or N is the reference for 0 degrees.

Bearing is

measured in the clockwise direction from the North.

1. A ship is 4 km due north and then 3 km on a bearing of 60 degrees Find the distance from his original
position.
2. A boat sails round a quadrangular course ABCD, starting from A to B in 4 km due east of A, C is 3 km due
south of B and D is 4 km S50W from C.

What is the distance and bearing of A from D?

3. Town F is 50 km east of Town G. Town H is on a bearing of 40 degrees from Town F. The distance
from F to H is 65 km.

Calculate, to the nearest km, the actual distance GH.

Calculate, to the nearest degree, the bearing of H from G.

4. A village R is 10 km from a point P on a bearing 025 degrees from P. Another village A is 6 km from P on a
bearing of 016degrees Calculate,

(a).(a). the distance of R from A and

(b).(b). the bearing of R from A

5. The bearing of city R from city M is 058degrees and the bearing of city K from city M is 310degrees

If the distance from M to R is 40 km and that of M to K is 70 km,

What is the distance between K and R to 1 decimal place and bearing of K from R
to the nearest degree?

6. The bearing of city R from city M is 058∘degrees and the bearing of city K from city M is 310∘degrees

If the distance from M to R is 40 km and that of M to K is 70 km,

What is the distance between K and R to 1 decimal place and bearing of K from R
to the nearest degree?
