Answer:

The bearing of Q from P is 155°.

Explanation:

In the attached photo,

Fig 1. gives details about the question and fig 2. gives the answer to the question.

From fig 1:

b° + 335° = 360° (sum of angle at a point)

b° + 335° = 360°

Collect like terms

b° = 360° – 335°

b° = 25°

a° + b° = 180° (sum of angle in a straight line)

a° + b° = 180°

b° = 25°

a° + 25° = 180°

Collect like terms

a° = 180° – 25°

a° = 155°

a° gives the bearing of Q from P.

Therefore, the bearing of Q from P is 155°.

Fig 2 on the attached photo shows the the bearing of Q from P.
