Sub-topics
True bearings
Read true bearings as three-figure angles measured clockwise from north, find back-bearings, and solve bearing problems.
Compass bearings
Read and write compass bearings in N/S–angle–E/W notation, convert between compass bearings and true bearings, and identify the quadrant of a direction.
Solving problems with bearings
Apply trigonometry and Pythagoras' theorem to find distances and bearings in single- and two-leg journey problems.
