To solve this problem, we need to understand the relationship between the bearings of the points involved:
1. The bearing of X from Y is given as 045°.
- This means that if you are at point Y and you are facing north (0°), you would turn 45° clockwise to face point X.
2. Since the problem states that Y is equivalent to X and Z, we can assume that the bearing of Z from Y is in the same direction as X is from Y.
So, if the bearing of X from Y is 045°, the direction of Y from X can be calculated as:
- The bearing of Y from X is 180° + 045° = 225° (since the bearing reverses direction when moving from one point to another).
Next, we want to find the bearing of Z from X. Since Y, X, and Z are aligned, we assume Z is directly opposite to the bearing of X from Y.
Thus, if we take the bearing of Z from Y in the same direction as X was observed (which is towards 045° from north), we can conclude that the bearing of Z can be directly calculated.
Since Y and Z are aligned, if you consider the bearing of Y from X is 225°, similarly, we can conclude that:
- The bearing of Z from X is also 225°.
So, the final answer is:
**The bearing of Z from X is 225°.**
