How To: Bearings Problem - VividMath.com 

This video saved my life 5 years ago. Thought I’d come back here and finally thank you for helping my brain evolve in math class 💀

I personally find bearings very easy but from talking to my classmates it seems like in general people struggle with them. I have a few easy tricks. The angle of O from A is always equal to the angle of A from O + 180. In this example, A from O is 130, so O from A is 130 + 180 = 310. You can always turn any of these questions into a set of parallel lines by making the north south lines longer, from here on rules of parallel lines apply. Eg the angle of depression of A from O is the same as the angle of elevation of O from A.

WOW!!! I am very happy I found this page. I literally sat in in class for 2 months, and could not get what the teacher was trying to explain. I watched this video and actually learned something!! I will be watching more videos every night to get better in the field. Thank you so much VIVIDMATHS- Steve K. Much appreciated.

This has taught me in 8 minutes what my maths teacher has failed to teach me in 8 weeks. I cannot thank you enough.

My math teacher told me to just add 180 if we know that A is a straight line. So 130+180=310 It’s the same answer, my teacher’s way is easier but to be honest I did not understand what she was doing until I saw this video. Thanks a lot sir

Thank you sooo much for this. I'm in the tenth grade and I learnt this topic today and I seriously did not understand. You just got a new subscriber!!

I've been watching your videos all day about angle and you touch me more than my teacher ever did

Thanks, My exam starts in the next 4 hours

Soo Good. Just started true bearings in Trig and was somewhat confused. Watching this very clear explanation is very helpful. Thanx for posting.

I was having a very hard time understanding bearings God bless you cuz u saved a life

My test was Tomorrow and I had no clue of how to solve bearings and this saved my cheeks. I appreciate it man 🥰

Wow I wish this was my online math teacher! He explains super well...

Thank you! I just experienced enlightenment!:-).

amazing lesson. Thank you

Thanks for this teaching

Thank you!! This was helpful.

really helped no better video I could find

Thank you so much sir! ✨

Hats off to you sir.

you are very good math teacher it helped me on my test

Best explanation , so helpful

Ur so helpful guys keep doing what u do

perfect explanation 👍🏼

Thank you for the help

great help thanks

Awesome!Tnx for helping

thanks my guy. Really helpful

Thanks U really helped me!!!!

This is so helpful...I couldn't do nothing or knew nothing in bearings and now I learnt couple things just now...you are way better than my math teacher..wish u were my math teacher overall😪👍thanks thou

thankyou! very very helpful

I am a civil engineering student and I found this contrast to what i have learned in surveying. What you call bearing is what we call Azimuth,while the bearing can be measured from either N or S (but have to be less than 90 deg)

This is very helpful.

You got a new subscriber!!!

Thank you

Thank you (: super helpful

Thank you so much

Thankyou love

You are so good at math

Very good video helped alot

thanks soo much

really interesting topic

Thank a lot

your voice is magic to listen to

thank you for this information .

You saved my life

tysm 🙌💕

woooooow thanks this video is the best one ive see out there which didnt make me more confused it rly helped thanks!!!!

very helpful

Finally a good vedio

I have solved this problem before him in about 3 minutes but its good for those who need to understand this in detail

Thank you so muccccchhhh

Another way to think about it- You are trying to go backwards, backwards is 180°. 130° forwards, the go back to that point- turn 180, and go back in that bearing- 130°+180°= 310°

NICE EXPLANATION...

I'm in grade 8 and I now understand what my teacher was saying thanks a lot sir

superb way on explaining ... you are great mate

You the bestttt thanks Alottttttt

Thank you sir this was totally helpful😊😊!!

I love your videos! Great stuff.

thnx a lot sir

love your videos!! You explain so well... :)

Nice and like your voice man

Thanku so much

thanks

My teacher teaches us in a fashion like N40degrees and S30degreesW but she never explained what to do when the question only says 40degrees and 250degrees without any of the N, W, E, S. For the second degree do we start from North like the first bearing or do we start from South like all the problems my teacher has given us?

Thank you, my exam is tomorrow and I was having trouble with this

Allot more easier than your formal class on bearing tnks

Bearing to (which you measure) is always the reciprocal (+/- 180) of the bearing from (which you plot to determine a line of position). Two lines of position intersection locate where you precisely are.

Pauly Shore is a great teacher...!!!

This helped a lot😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄

wow man ur good at maths and helpful! Thankyou

Thanks a million! My textbook was a bit confusing.

So would it be the same procedure if u wanted to go from A to O?

We need to see the question

thank yo

Thank you so much this helped me so much especially one day before the final exam

This lad is a legend 🙏🏻this helped so much

what do you do when forward bearing is 180degrees and you want find backward bearing

Tanks

clarified my misconceptions in less time.

Thank you for the video. Please make sure that you are using the proper terms. azitmuth is an angle from the reference direction can be anything from 0 to 360 degrees. Bearing indicates a direction of north or south or the west or east line between 90 degrees. For this problem the ACTUAL BEARNG is 50 west of north or written as N50W.

hello sir ,,can you please discuss about prominent bearing?

Thank uuuuu

Does minutes relate to the bearing of the line? Or the distance???

My teacher literally has like three slides of notes talking about random stuff when she was supposed to be teaching bearings I’m like……teach!

Thank you so much! Great video! :)

Well done tell more 🙏🙏🙏👍

Wow this really hepled a lot !! Thank u so much !!

THANK YOUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I can solve dem questions so I get dem full markz U kno

we should just add 180 to thee bearing to get the back bearing. RIGHT?

N 310° W Is this the correct way to write the angle

Super awesome! Thankyou :)

thanksthat helps heaps love your videos keep it up!

Hi! Thank you so much for this video - it was very helpful. I did have one question: in my textbook, it has this question, and it looks like the answer might conflict with the concepts in this video at 1:05. The question is “Stacey walks on a bearing of 90 degrees (due East) for 100 m and then on a bearing of 180 degrees (due south) for 180 m. What is her bearing from the starting point? To find this, the textbook solution is to do tangent inverse of (100/180), meaning it will find the bearing starting at her ending point rather than her starting point (which is what I think the answer should be trying to find) - am I understanding this incorrectly? Thank you!

Ik more simple method then this one😂😂 but good job sir 👍

can someone tell me the question he is answering

You can solve it easier! Extend the line backwards in the first figure. 130+180=310

Any reason why it should not be 270 + 40 degrees?

why bearing is always range from 0- 90?

What is this 1st, 2nd and 3rd stuff?

I now know how to do bearings thanks man :) i can now do my homework
