2. Angle made in clockwise direction with
respect to the North is called a bearing.
Usually, for bearings measurement, a 360o
protractor is used.
Bearings tell is in what direction something
is.
In bearings, angles are always measured from
the North
3. In this case, there are two points
given (A and B).
Q: Find the bearing of A from B
First, you take your protractor,
and make a 90o line upwards.
Then going clockwise, measure
the angle till it reaches the point
on line A.
This angle is called bearing.
4. The same way, in this case, there are two
points given (A and B).
Q: Find the bearing of A from B
Here, the measurement of angle B is given.
Since it is angles on a line, they sum up to
180o
Therefore, 180o - 46o =134 o
The bearing of A from B
is 134 o
5. Q: Find the bearing of:
-A from B
-B from A
Ans 1: 205 o
Ans 2: 25 o
6. Q: Find the bearing of P from O
Ans: 225 o
From the north
we move
clockwise and
measure the
angle formed.
