Question

azmiuth and bearing help please?

Answer 1

Still?

Answer 2

I have the azimuths but not sure if my bearings are correct? i just need a quick check

Answer 3

@krissywatts, bearing means azimuth. It is an acute angle measured with respect to the North-South line.

Answer 4

Therefore B, C, E, and H above would be proper; however J is incorrect.

Answer 5

Remember: Azimuth is always measured clockwise from North.
Bearing is measured from either North or South in the direction of East or West.

Answer 6

Do you understand?

Answer 7

for Ab's azimuth i get 35 degress42' and bearing same. CD i get 140.65 for azimuth and bearing 50 degrees 39'. Ef azimuth i get 208.316 and bearing 28 degrees19'. HG iazmiuth i get 293.4 and bearing 66 degrees36'. For IJ azimuth i get 54.3 and bearing 35 degrees 42'?

Answer 8

i understand the first page of my work, yes.

Answer 9

Good job!

Answer 10

all of this is correct?

Answer 11

I just double checked and yes, perfect except IJ. Can you double check your work please?

Answer 12

@krissywatts, are you still there? Do you understand your mistake for IJ?

Answer 13

Refer to your answer for AB, to perhaps understand your error in IJ.

Answer 14

yes i can , and yes i'm still here my computer just dropped out for a minute.

Answer 15

what's wrong with IJ?

Answer 16

Do you see what you did wrong? For IJ, if the azimuth is 54. 3 degrees (measured clockwise from the North) and the bearing is measured with respect to the North-South line, then shouldn't the bearing equal the azimuth? You measured the bearing with respect to the East-West line, which is incorrect. Look at your diagram for IJ. It's not right.

Answer 17

is IJ 144.3 for azimuth and bearing 35 degrees42'?

Answer 18

Oh! I think you confused me. Are the drawings the actual questions or did you make up those drawings or are thy part of a solution?

Answer 19

they are the actual questions

Answer 20

Oh, my sincere apologies! I thought they were something you just drew to understand how to draw azimuths and bearings. OK, then yes your first reply was perfect for all 5 questions.

Answer 21

Does that help?

Answer 22

lol, okay thanks for helping me check them.

Answer 23

yes

Answer 24

Good, I'm glad!
