The bearing of Barking from Alton is bº.
The bearing of Alton from Barking is 6bº.
No
Calculate the 3-figure bearing of Alton from Barking.​

Answer 1

Answer:

  216°

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between the bearing from B to A and the bearing from A to B is 180°. Here, the difference between the two bearings is ...

  6b -b = 180°

  b = 180°/5 = 36°

  6b = 6·36° = 216°

The bearing of Alton from Barking is 216°.
