Calculate the bearing of Y from X.

N.
Z
Y
X
102°
Not drawn accurately

Answer 1

078°

Step-by-step explanation:

the bearing of Y from X is the angle from the north line N through X , measured in a clockwise direction to Y, that is ∠ NXY

∠ NXY and 102° are adjacent angles on a straight line and sum to 180°

∠ NXY + 102° = 180° ( subtract 102° from both sides )

∠ NXY = 78°

the 3- figure bearing of Y from X is therefore 078°

Answer 2

78°

Step-by-step explanation:

from the diagram, the bearing of Y from X is the angle formed between X and line coming from Y while moving in clockwise direction

= 180°- 102°= 78°
