SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating the bearing AC given the bearing of AB at 97° 49' 45" and an anti-clockwise angle from A to C of 71° 6' 12". The correct approach involves interpreting the angles accurately, as there is confusion regarding the reference point for the angle measurement. A suggestion was made that the angle may have been intended to be measured from B to C instead of A to C. The final bearing AC should be expressed in the format ddd.mmss.
PREREQUISITES
- Understanding of bearing calculations in navigation.
- Familiarity with angular measurements in degrees, minutes, and seconds.
- Knowledge of anti-clockwise angle conventions.
