Homework Statement
Hi everyone. My problem is related to bearings, and finding the bearings between two points and their distance apart.
A= Easting 182.373, Northing 139.901
Y= Easting 200 Northing 200
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
Now for A's bearing I used pythagoras and inverse tan to calc the angle from the East/x axis was 52'30'28', thus subtracting it from 90 degrees gave me 37'29'32' from the y axis/north to bearing A.
For bearing B i did the same, and came up with a value from it's north position clockwise to Y bearing of 45' (inverse tan (200/200)).
Now to find the bearing from A to B, do I just add these bearings together, for a A to Y bearing of 82'29'32'?
If not, what do I do. Surprisingly google couldn't help me.
Thanks a lot
