Assessment: WAEC SSCE - General Mathematics - 2004 (Objective) Subject: General Mathematics

Question 1 Report

A point X is on the bearing 342o from a point Y. What is the bearing of Y from X?
Answer Details
If point X is on a bearing of 342o from point Y, then point Y is on a bearing of 162o from point X. This is because the bearing from X to Y is the opposite direction from the bearing from Y to X. Therefore, we subtract the original bearing of 342o from 180o to get 162o.
