A difference between direction and bearing?
For sailors, bearing is the angle measured clockwise from North. For mathematicians, direction is measured counter-clockwise from the positive x-axis. Thus, due East as a bearing would be 90 degrees, since it is 90 degrees clockwise from North, and East as a direction would be 0 degrees, since East is the same as the positive x-axis. So yeah, there you go.
How many degrees is an right angle?
90 degrees 90 degrees
What is the measure of an angle who's complement is 18 degrees?
90 - 18 = 72 degrees.90 - 18 = 72 degrees.90 - 18 = 72 degrees.90 - 18 = 72 degrees.
Is it possible to have adjacent angles that are also vertical angles and why?
Yes. Because 90+90 = 180 degrees. Yes. Because 90+90 = 180 degrees. Yes. Because 90+90 = 180 degrees. Yes. Because 90+90 = 180 degrees.
What is 90 degrees Celsius?
90 degrees C = 194 degrees F.
What bearing angle is due east?
90 degrees
How many degrees are therein the angle between the hands of a clockwhen it is 9 O 'clock?
90 degrees. At this time the small hand will be at the 9 with a bearing of 270 and the large will be at the 12 with a bearing of 0. The difference between these is 270 degress or 90 degrees but as 90 degrees is smaller that is the one we use.
When observing cross bearing of objects how much would their bearing differ to obtain good fix?
Below 90 degrees
What is the reciprocal bearing of 117 degrees?
YES!!! it is 360 - 117 = 243 For bearing (navigation) . Bearing of due North is bearing zero(0) . Then moving around the compass clockwise due East is bearing 090 , die South is bearing 180 and due West is bearing 270 . However, if starting at bearing zero(0) and moving ANTI-Clockwise , the first bearing is 270 , which is 90 degrees of turn. The 90 degrees in anti =clockwise is the inverse. NB For ALL bearings you quote three digits. So due East , bearing 90 is quoted as '090'. This is normal navigational practice.
What is the constant bearing value for due west?
North is 0 degrees, east is 90 degrees, south is 180 degrees, and west is 270 degrees.
What direction is NNW plus 90 degrees?
The direction NNW plus 90 degrees is ENE. ---------------------- NW is a bearing of 315 and NNW is a bearing of 337.5. Add 90 to this, and subtract 360 because we have "gone round": 337.5 + 90 = 427.5; 427.5 - 360 = 67.5. This is past NE, so the answer is ENE.

How do you take a bearing?
You take a bearing by pointing your compass at the target (or direction you want to go) and reading the number on the compass. There are 360 degrees in a circle, with East being at 90 degrees, South-East being 135 degrees, South being 180, West 270, North 360 (or zero) and etc. etc.
How many degrees is an right angle?

What is the Distance in degrees from the prime meridian to 90 degrees East?
In degrees, the distance from (zero) to (90 degrees) is 90 degrees.
