    BEARING

    To solve real-world problems using


    trigonometry

    BEARING

    In certain navigation or surveying problems, the


    direction, or bearing, from a point P to a point Q
    is specified by stating the acute angle that segment
    PQ makes with the north-south line through P. We
    also state whether Q is north or south and east or
    west of P.

    BEARING

    In air navigation, directions and bearings are


    specified by measuring from the north in a
    clockwise direction. In this case, a positive angle is
    assigned to the angle instead of the negative
    measure to which we are accustomed for clockwise
    rotations.

    Two ships leave port at the same time,


    one ship sailing in the direction 23
    at a speed of 11 / and the second
    ship sailing in direction 67 at
    15 / . Approximate the bearing
    from the second ship to the first, one
    hour later.

    BEARING
    1.

    A boat is 36 km due north of lighthouse A.


    Lighthouse B has a bearing of 90 from
    lighthouse A. If the lighthouses are 53 km
    apart, find the bearing of lighthouse B from the
    boat and the distance from lighthouse B to the
    boat.

    2.

    Two ships leave the same port at 9 AM. The


    first ship sails towards Europe on a 54 course
    at a constant rate of 36 mi/h. The second ship,
    with a tropical destination, sails on a 144
    course at a constant speed of 42 mi/h. Find the
    distance between the ships at 1 PM.

    BEARING
    3.

    A pilot of a plane travelling on a course of


    N30E sights the San Francisco
    International Airport (West of North
    direction). The pilots line of sight forms a
    right angle with the planes line of travel.
    Find the bearing of the airport.

    4.

    Follow up: After traveling 65 mi on the same


    course, the new bearing of the airport from
    the plane is 238. Find the distance from the
    plane to San Francisco International Airport.

    2.

    A ship leaves its home port and sails on a


    bearing of S 6150 E. Another ship leaves the
    same port at the same time and sails on a
    bearing of N 2810 E. If the first ship sails at
    24.0 mph and the second sails at 28.0 mph,
    find the distance between the two ships after 4
    hours.
    A boat is 23 miles due West of lighthouse A.
    Lighthouse B is 14 miles due North of
    lighthouse A. Find the bearing of lighthouse B
    from the boat and the distance from
    lighthouse B to the boat.
