\( \begin{aligned} &\text{Bearings are always measured clockwise from north and written as three digits.} \end{aligned} \)
Question 27:
[Ad Space]
\[ \begin{array}{l} \text{The bearing of port } Y \text{ from port } X \text{ is } 245^{\circ}. \\ \text{Work out the bearing of port } X \text{ from port } Y. \end{array} \]
Answer:\( 065^{\circ} \)
Explanation:
\begin{aligned} &\text{Bearings are measured clockwise from north.} \\ &\text{If the bearing from X to Y is } 245^{\circ}, \\ &\text{then the bearing from Y to X is } 245^{\circ} + 180^{\circ} = 425^{\circ}. \\ &\text{Since this is greater than } 360^{\circ}, \text{subtract } 360^{\circ} \; \Rightarrow 065^{\circ}. \end{aligned}
