To find the bearing of point Q from point P, you first need to know the bearing of point P from point Q. Bearings are typically measured in degrees from the north direction (0°) in a clockwise direction.
If the bearing of P from Q is given, say it is at an angle θ (in degrees), the bearing of Q from P can be calculated using the following steps:
1. **Calculate the reverse bearing**: The bearing of Q from P is found by adding 180° to the bearing of P from Q.
- If the angle θ is less than 180°, then the bearing of Q from P = θ + 180°.
- If the angle θ is greater than 180°, then the bearing of Q from P = θ - 180°.
2. **Adjust for any bearings that exceed 360°**: If adding or subtracting gives you a result that exceeds 360°, simply subtract 360° from the result to bring it back within the 0° to 360° range.
Here's an example:
- If the bearing of P from Q is 30°, then:
- Bearing of Q from P = 30° + 180° = 210°.
If the bearing of P from Q is 200°, then:
- Bearing of Q from P = 200° - 180° = 20°.
