Three-figure compass bearings

Answers and reasoning. Review before teaching.

  1. 1. A hiker faces North-East (45°) and turns 270° clockwise. What is the new three-figure compass bearing in degrees?

    315°

    Starting from 45° and turning 270° clockwise gives (45° + 270°) mod 360° = 315°.

  2. 2. A hiker faces North-West (315°) and turns 135° clockwise. What is the new three-figure compass bearing in degrees?

    90°

    Starting from 315° and turning 135° clockwise gives (315° + 135°) mod 360° = 90°.

  3. 3. A hiker faces West (270°) and turns 315° clockwise. What is the new three-figure compass bearing in degrees?

    225°

    Starting from 270° and turning 315° clockwise gives (270° + 315°) mod 360° = 225°.

  4. 4. A hiker faces East (90°) and turns 270° clockwise. What is the new three-figure compass bearing in degrees?

    0°

    Starting from 90° and turning 270° clockwise gives (90° + 270°) mod 360° = 0°.

    0°

    Starting from 225° and turning 135° clockwise gives (225° + 135°) mod 360° = 0°.

  7. 7. A hiker faces West (270°) and turns 270° clockwise. What is the new three-figure compass bearing in degrees?

    180°

    Starting from 270° and turning 270° clockwise gives (270° + 270°) mod 360° = 180°.

  8. 8. A hiker faces South-West (225°) and turns 270° clockwise. What is the new three-figure compass bearing in degrees?

    135°

    Starting from 225° and turning 270° clockwise gives (225° + 270°) mod 360° = 135°.

  9. 9. A hiker faces North-East (45°) and turns 135° clockwise. What is the new three-figure compass bearing in degrees?

    180°

    Starting from 45° and turning 135° clockwise gives (45° + 135°) mod 360° = 180°.

  10. 10. A hiker faces West (270°) and turns 45° clockwise. What is the new three-figure compass bearing in degrees?

    315°

    Starting from 270° and turning 45° clockwise gives (270° + 45°) mod 360° = 315°.

  11. 11. A hiker faces North-West (315°) and turns 225° clockwise. What is the new three-figure compass bearing in degrees?

    180°

    Starting from 315° and turning 225° clockwise gives (315° + 225°) mod 360° = 180°.

  12. 12. A hiker faces South (180°) and turns 225° clockwise. What is the new three-figure compass bearing in degrees?

    45°

    Starting from 180° and turning 225° clockwise gives (180° + 225°) mod 360° = 45°.
