i need help with azimuth and bearing problems?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the azimuth of this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the bearing?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think in this case, the azimuth and bearing are the same because they are both being measured from the north direction.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks. and i need help with some others but i'll let you know when i try and solve for those

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, just remember that azimuth is always measured from north, so you only need to give the angle. The bearing depends on what your reference is. In your example, the bearing is 'angle' East of North, or N'angle'E.

Ok, same thing. The azimuth is measured from North. The bearing will be measured from north or south, whichever is closer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it 180- 39?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not 39. The 39 are the seconds added on to the degrees.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

90-39?

The 39 is like digits after a decimal point, they are part of the 50º39" total angle measure.
