X is due east point of y on a coast. Z is another point on the coast but 6.0km due south of Y. If the distance ZX is 12km, calculate the bearing of Z from X
A.
240°
B.
150°
C.
60°
D.
270°
Correct Answer: 240°
Explanation
Sinθ = 6/12
Sinθ = 1/2
θ = Sin 0.5
θ = 30°
Bearing of Z from X, (270 - 30)° = 240°
Sinθ = 6/12
Sinθ = 1/2
θ = Sin 0.5
θ = 30°
Bearing of Z from X, (270 - 30)° = 240°
