Practice Questions
Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Calculate the bearing of point B from point A if A is due north of B and the bearing from A to B is 045°.
[2 marks]2.
A ship heads on a bearing of 120° from port A to port B. If the ship sails 50 km, what is its bearing from port A?
[2 marks]3.
Construct a bearing from a point due south to a point located 30 km east of the starting point. What is the bearing?
[2 marks]4.
A cyclist starts at point X and heads on a bearing of 210°. After 10 km, she reaches point Y. Calculate the approximate bearing of point Y from point X.
[2 marks]5.
A plane flies on a bearing of 045° for 200 km, then changes course to 135° for the next 150 km. What is the approximate bearing of the plane from the starting point?
[3 marks]6.
A lighthouse is located due east of a harbor. From the harbor, a boat is observed at a bearing of 060°. How far east is the boat if it's 20 km from the harbor and directly south of the lighthouse?
