Answer:

16Km due east of school P

Explanation:

Given

A school P is 16km due west of a school Q

Thus, we can say that distance PQ = 16 km.

________________________________

now we have to find the bearing of Q from P​

As distance is same

distance PQ = distance QP

Thus,

Distance will remain same of 16 km.

For direction,

If Q is west of P, then P will be east of Q
P------------------>Q

as shown in figure P is west of Q,

now from point P , Q is west P.

Thus,

Bearing of School Q from P is 16Km due east of school P
