Hilltop campsite 462° from lake, river boat 438° from setting sun, peak 32° from radio tower, all bearings from A.
1. Hiker and Campsite:
Imagine A on the hilltop, lake east, and campsite at 282° (slightly south of east). Since the lake is directly east, its bearing from the campsite is simply 180° + 282° = 462°.
2. Boats and Setting Sun:
Imagine boats A and B on the river, A reporting 047° (slightly north of west), and B measuring 305° (northwest of the setting sun). B's bearing from the sun is 180° + 305° = 485°. Since A is slightly north of B, B's bearing from A is 485° - 47° = 438°.
3. Radio Tower and Mountain Peak:
Imagine A north of the tower, tower due south, and mountain peak at 148° (southeast). Since the tower is directly south, the mountain peak's bearing from the tower is simply 180° - 148° = 32°.
Note: These are simplified explanations and diagrams. Real-world scenarios may require additional information or calculations.
Complete Question:
For each of the following scenarios, identify the bearing of B from A. Assume all three bearings are written with three digits.
A ship sails due east from A to B. At B, the captain measures the angle of bearing of a lighthouse back at A to be 327°. What is the bearing of B from A?
Two planes are flying in a straight line, with A flying ahead of B. A reports its bearing to B as 205°. What is the bearing of B from A?
Mountain peak A is located directly north of village B. From a lookout point on A, a ranger measures the bearing of a distant river to be 162°. What is the bearing of B from the river?
