Question:

A question a bearings?

The school orienteering course has set up three points marked ABC. From A, B has a bearing of 040 degrees. AB is 220m, BC is 180m and CA is 220m. Calculate the bearing of C from B

Answer:

Van, Something other than an orienteering course has been setup, because orienteering doesn't use bearings. From point A, the competitor might want to follow the trail until it turns Left, and then continue through the forest 10m to B. From B, the edge of the clearing should be good to run along and then the building on the other side will provide a launching point to find C... Consult a geometry student as those angles and distances might be important to them;-) steve
