Question

Convert 150 true bearing to compass bearing

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The formula to convert a true bearing to a compass bearing is:

Compass Bearing = (360 - True Bearing) mod 360

Plugging in 150 for the true bearing:

Compass Bearing = (360 - 150) mod 360
Compass Bearing = 210 mod 360
Compass Bearing = 210

Therefore, 150 true bearing is equivalent to a compass bearing of 210.

S30°E

Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To convert a bearing given in the form of S30°E to compass bearing, we need to first determine the true bearing it represents.

S30°E indicates a direction that is 30 degrees eastward from due south.

To convert this to a true bearing, we can subtract 30 degrees from 180 (since south is at 180 degrees on a standard compass rose).

True Bearing = 180 - 30
True Bearing = 150 degrees

Now, we can convert this true bearing to a compass bearing using the formula:

Compass Bearing = (360 - True Bearing) mod 360

Plugging in the true bearing of 150 degrees:

Compass Bearing = (360 - 150) mod 360
Compass Bearing = 210 mod 360
Compass Bearing = 210

Therefore, S30°E is equivalent to a compass bearing of 210.
