A point X is on the bearing 342 from point Y. What is the bearing of Y and X
just add or subtract 180° to look the other way.
which one? your final bearing should be from between 0° and 360°
To find the bearing of point Y and X, we need to determine the bearing of point Y first. The bearing of point Y is the opposite direction from the bearing of point X.
Bearing is typically measured in degrees starting from the north and going clockwise. Therefore, the bearing of point Y would be calculated by adding 180 degrees to the bearing of point X.
Given that point X is on the bearing 342, we can calculate the bearing of point Y as follows:
Bearing of Y = Bearing of X + 180 degrees
Bearing of Y = 342 + 180
Bearing of Y = 522 degrees
So, the bearing of point Y is 522 degrees, and the bearing of point X is 342 degrees.
To determine the bearing of point Y and X, we need to understand what bearings represent. Bearings represent the direction of one point from another, measured in degrees clockwise from north.
In this case, we know that point X is on the bearing 342 from point Y. This means that if we were standing at point Y and facing north, we would need to turn clockwise 342 degrees to face point X.
To find the bearing of Y and X, we need to add 180 degrees to the given bearing. This is because bearings are measured clockwise from north, and we are looking to determine the bearing of Y and X when facing south.
If we add 180 degrees to 342, we get:
342 + 180 = 522
Therefore, the bearing of Y and X is 522 degrees. This means that if you were standing at point Y facing south, you would need to turn clockwise 522 degrees to face point X.
