A man starts from a Point a and walks 4km on a bearing of 015 to point b. He then walks 6km on a bearing of 105 to c. What is the bearing of c from a
To find the bearing of point C from point A, we need to first identify the angle between the line connecting A and C and the north (or any reference) direction.
Here are the steps to calculate the bearing:
1. Determine the bearing from point A to point B:
- The bearing of 015 means that the angle between the line connecting A and B and the north direction is 15 degrees.
2. Determine the bearing from point B to point C:
- The bearing of 105 means that the angle between the line connecting B and C and the north direction is 105 degrees.
3. Calculate the total bearing from point A to point C:
- Since the man walks from point A to B on a bearing of 015 (an angle of 15 degrees clockwise from north) and then walks from point B to C on a bearing of 105 (an angle of 105 degrees clockwise from north), we need to add these two angles to get the total bearing from A to C.
- 15 degrees (bearing from A to B) + 105 degrees (bearing from B to C) = 120 degrees.
Therefore, the bearing of point C from point A is 120 degrees.
