Practice Questions

Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
What is the bearing of point B from point A if the direction from A to B is exactly east?
[1 mark]
2.
A ship sails from port P on a bearing of 045°. It then changes course to a bearing of 135°. How many degrees has the ship turned?
[2 marks]
3.
Construct a triangle on the grid with sides AB = 4 units, BC = 5 units, and the bearing of B from A is 060°. Show all steps.
[3 marks]
4.
A runner starts at point X and runs south for 3 units, then turns and runs on a bearing of 150° for 4 units. Plot the runner's path and determine the coordinates of the final point assuming X is at (0,0).
[3 marks]
5.
Aerial survey: An airplane flies on a bearing of 210° from a starting point. It then changes course to a bearing of 300°. How many degrees has the airplane turned?
[1 mark]
6.
Calculate the bearing of point C from point A if A is at (2,3) and C is at (8, 7).
[2 marks]
7.
A hiker walks on a bearing of 120° for 6 km, then changes to a bearing of 030° for 4 km. Plot the path and find the approximate coordinates of the hiker's final position starting from (0,0).
[3 marks]
8.
Error analysis: A student measures a bearing as 095° when the correct bearing should be 085°. What mistake might they have made?
[2 marks]
9.
If a boat is on a bearing of 330° from a lighthouse and the lighthouse is at (0,0), what is the approximate location of the boat? Assume the boat is 10 km away.
[2 marks]
10.
Challenge: A drone flies on a bearing of 045° for 8 km, then on a bearing of 135° for 6 km. Plot its path and determine its final position relative to the starting point.
[3 marks]
