Answer 1

(a) 100° , (b) 235°

Explanation:

the bearing is the angle measured in a clockwise direction from the north line.

(a)

the bearing of D from C is the angle NCD

∠ NCD = 100°

then the bearing of D from C is 100°

(b)

the bearing is the angle from the north line at C , measured clockwise to D

that is the green shaded ∠ NCD = 235°

the bearing of D from C is 235°
