Question 1 Report

Points X and Y are 20km North and 9km East of point O, respectively. What is the bearing of Y from X? Correct to the nearest degree.
Answer Details
tan ⁡ θ = 9 20 = 0.45
θ = tan − 1 ⁡ ( 0.45 )
= 24.23°
∴  The bearing of Y from X = 180° - 24.23°
= 155.77°
= 156° (to the nearest degree)
