A ship H leaves a port P and sails 30 km due south. Then it sails 60km due west. What is the bearing of H from P?
20o 34'
243o 26'
116o 34'
63o 26'
240o 56'
Correct answer is B
Let the bearing of H from P be represented by x°.
tanθ=3060=0.5
\theta = \tan^{-1} (0.5) = 26.565°
x = 180° + (90 - 26.565)
x = 180 + 63.435 = 243.435°
= 243° 26'
