Given parameters:
Bearing of the tree from the house = 295°
Unknown:
Bearing of the house from the tree = ?
Solution:
This is whole circle bearing problem(wcb). There are different ways of representing directions from one place to another. In whole circle bearing, the value of the bearing varies from 0° to 360° in the clockwise direction.
To find the back bearing in this regard, simple deduct the forward bearing from 360°;
Backward bearing = 360° -295°
= 65°
The bearing from house to the tree is 65°
