Bearings can be defined as the angular relationships between two or more places.
Bearings are specified in two ways:
Cardinal Points: It is specified in reference to the north and south. E.g N450E, S600W
Example
Taking O as the starting point.
NOP = 600 is the bearing N600E
SOQ= S470W
Three Digits Notation: Bearing is also specified in three digits notation. E.g 0600,
0780,1350,2250 e.t.c
Example1. Indicate the following bearing on the cardinal point (a) 0800 (b) 2100
Solution
(a) 0800, ( b) 2100
2. Write each of the following in three digit notation. (a) S 700E (b) N400W
Solution:
(a)S 700E
It is equivalent to 1100
(b) N 400W
It is equivalent to 3200
Evaluation
