The bearing of a point X from a point Y is 074°. What is the bearing of Y from X?

A.

106o

B.

146o

C.

164o

D.

254o

E.

286o

Correct answer is D

< YXS = 74° (alternate angles, N\(_1\) S\(_1\) // N\(_2\) S\(_2\))

N\(_2\) E\(_2\) S\(_2\) = 180°

\(\therefore\) Bearing of Y from X = 180° + 74°

= 254°

Use mathematical table to evaluate (cos40° - sin30°)

A.

-0.2660

B.

-0.0266

C.

0.0266

D.

0.2660

E.

1.5320

Correct answer is D

(cos 40° - sin 30°)

= 0.7660 - 0.5

= 0.2660
