Answer 1

Bearings are angles, measured clockwise from north.

To measure a bearing, we must first know which direction is north.

This north direction is usually provided in the maths exam question. We then measure the required angle in a clockwise direction. All bearings need to be given in three figures, so if the angle measured is less than 100100 degrees, we must start the three-figure bearing with a zero.

Example:

The diagram shows three points A, B and P.
