Click For Summary
The bearing of B from A is 120 degrees, which indicates the direction from point A to point B. To find the bearing of A from B, one must subtract 180 degrees from the bearing of B from A. This calculation results in a bearing of 300 degrees for A from B. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding directional bearings in navigation. Accurate bearings are crucial for effective route planning and orientation.
