You find the angle with a fixed direction using trigonometry. You then convert it to an angle measured in degrees, clockwise from North, and written as a three digit number.
plane trigonometry spherical trigonometry
The bearing of a point B, from a point A, is based on the angle that the straight line AB makes with the line AN which goes due North from A. The angle is measured in the clockwise direction and is normally expressed as a 3 digit number (including leading zeros).
The main kinds are plane trigonometry and solid trigonometry. The latter will include trigonometry in hyper-spaces.
Hipparchus is the father of trigonometry.

BEARING 1. A, B and C are three ships. The bearing of A from B is 045º. The bearing of C from A is 135º. If AB= 8km and AC= 6km, what is the bearing of B from C? 2. A helicopter pilot flies in the direction 147 degrees and lands when she is 12 km south of her starting point. How far did she fly?
Architecture requires a clear understanding of the load-bearing stresses and strains that the structure might face. It may also be necessary to take account of the impact of external factors such as strong winds, earthquakes. The study of these forces requires trigonometry.

It is a number - in trigonometry or elsewhere.
TRIGONOMETRY
Hipparchus is the father of trigonometry.
Trigonometry is applied in construction and building, as trigonometry measures right angled triangles.
Plane trigonometry is trigonometry carried out in (on) a plane. This could be contrasted with spherical trigonometry, which is trigonometry carried out on the surface of a sphere. Certainly there are some other more complex forms of trig.
Trigonometry based on a unit circle and radians and trigonometry based on a right triangle.
