In surveyor's bearings, angles are typically expressed in terms of cardinal directions (North, South, East, West) rather than as absolute angles. The angle is measured clockwise from the North.
To convert a bearing of 230° into surveyor's form:
1. Since 230° is in the third quadrant (between 180° and 270°), we determine the angle relative to the South direction.
2. Subtract 180° from 230° to find the angle east of South:
\[
230° - 180° = 50°
\]
3. Therefore, the bearing in surveyor's notation would be:
\[
S 50° W
\]
So, the bearing of **230°** in surveyor's form is **S 50° W**.
