SUMMARY

The bearing of A from B is determined to be 300 degrees when the bearing of B from A is 120 degrees. This conclusion is reached by understanding that bearings are measured clockwise from the north direction. Therefore, to find the reverse bearing, one must add 180 degrees to the original bearing of B from A, resulting in 300 degrees.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of compass bearings and navigation principles
  • Basic geometry skills for diagram drawing
  • Familiarity with clockwise measurement conventions
  • Ability to interpret and create navigational diagrams
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the principles of navigational bearings in detail
  • Learn how to draw and interpret navigational diagrams
  • Explore the concept of reciprocal bearings in navigation
  • Research the applications of bearings in real-world navigation scenarios
USEFUL FOR

Students of navigation, maritime professionals, pilots, and anyone interested in understanding directional bearings and their applications in navigation.
