Question

a clock tower is on a bearing of 300° from thomas. he turns to face the clock tower. he then turns 125° clockwise and is now facing a restaurant. what is the bearing of the restaurant from thomas?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the initial bearing

The initial bearing of the clock - tower from Thomas is $300^{\circ}$.

Step2: Calculate the new bearing

He turns $125^{\circ}$ clockwise from the direction of the clock - tower. So we add the two angles: $300^{\circ}+ 125^{\circ}=425^{\circ}$.

Step3: Adjust the bearing to be within 0 - 360 degrees

Since bearings are measured from $0^{\circ}$ to $360^{\circ}$, we subtract $360^{\circ}$ from $425^{\circ}$ if it is greater than $360^{\circ}$. $425^{\circ}-360^{\circ} = 65^{\circ}$.

Answer:

$65^{\circ}$
