1.14.1. Types of bearings

Try these first

1. 1.

   What is Whole Circle Bearing?

   Hint

   Think about how a clock measures time.

2. 2.

   How are Reduced Bearings measured?

   Hint

   Consider the quadrants when determining these angles.

3. 3.

   What is the range of values for Whole Circle Bearing?

   • 0° to 360°
   • 0° to 180°
   • 90° to 270°

   Hint

   Think about how a compass measures directions.

4. 4.

   True or False: Reduced Bearing measures angles greater than 90°.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Remember the definition of quadrants.

5. 5.

   Given a WCB of 220°, convert it into an RB format.

   Hint

   Identify which angle is smaller based on quadrant definitions.

6. 6.

   If two lines have bearings of N 10° E and S 20° W, calculate the included angle between them.

   Hint

   Visualize the bearings on a quadrant to identify angles.
