the bearing from Canada to Atlanta is 040 degrees. Calculate the bearing from Atlanta to Canada

Answer 1

Answer:

The bearing from Atlanta to Canada is 220 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent Canada with C and Atlanta with A

Bearing from C to A = 040

Required

Determine the bearing from A to C

This concept is referred to as Back Bearing and it's calculated as follows.

Because the front bearing is less 180 (040, to be precise), we have to add it to 180 to get the back bearing;

Hence,

$A\ to\ C\ =\ 180\ + C\ to\ A$

Substitute 040 for C to A

$A\ to\ C\ =\ 180\ + 040$

$A\ to\ C\ =\ 220$

Hence, the bearing from Atlanta to Canada is 220 degrees
