A ship sails from A to B on a bearing of 352°T. On what bearing will it have to sail to return from B to A?
To determine the bearing the ship will have to sail to return from point B to point A, we need to consider that the bearing is measured in a clockwise direction from the true north.
Since the ship initially sails from A to B on a bearing of 352°T, we need to find the complementary angle or the opposite direction bearing.
To calculate the complementary angle, we subtract the given bearing from 360°:
360° - 352° = 8°
Therefore, the ship will have to sail on a bearing of 8°T to return from point B to point A.
To determine the bearing for the ship to return from point B to point A, you need to add 180 degrees to the initial bearing of 352 degrees.
352 degrees + 180 degrees = 532 degrees
Therefore, the ship will have to sail on a bearing of 532°T to return from point B to point A.
