the answer is east.
A bearing is the angle made by a direction with the line pointing North, measured in the clockwise direction. A bearing is represented as a 3-digit number. So the bearing for North is 000, North-East is 045 East is 090, South is 180 West is 270 and just short of North is 359.
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.
compass bearing 271
I was taught that they were used on boats so they put 045 to show that 45 degrees was the way, and a 0 so that a digit was not missed out. if they put 45 it couldve been 145 but they missed the 1.
South
its East...
bearing '225' Going round the compass from north in a clockwise direction, there are 360 degrees. Bearing '000' is North bearing .090. is East bearing '180' is South bearing '270' is West. NB Bearing '360' i never used , because it is also the same as bearing ' 000' , that is North. NNB All bearings are quoted to 'three figures'. There is no such bearing asd ' 0' , nor '90'. NNNB Never read a bearing in an anti-clockwise direction.
The compass direction of travel.
It is a bearing (a direction) based on a magnetic compass reading.
It can measure angles, but is NOT normally used for such measurements. Compass angles are measured in bearings. Starting at North (N), which bearing '000'. East is bearing '090', South is bearing '180' and West is bearing '270'. Bearings are measured in angle from the north in a clockwise direction, and ALWAYS quoted as three numbers. Bearing South East (S.E.) is '135'. The navigational compass, like circles, is measured in 360 degrees.
North north east
East
On a compass, the direction with a bearing of 450 degrees is located in the northwest region. The standard compass measures the direction in degrees, starting from North at 0 degrees and proceeding clockwise until 360 degrees. Hence, a bearing of 450 degrees is just beyond the West direction, which is marked at 270 degrees, and points towards the northwest. ⓗⓣⓣⓟⓢ :⃝ /⃝ /⃝ⓦⓦⓦ .⃝ⓓⓘⓖⓘⓢⓣⓞⓡⓔ②④ .⃝ⓒⓞⓜ /⃝ⓡⓔⓓⓘⓡ /⃝③②⑤⑥⑤⑧ /⃝Ⓡⓐⓙⓘⓥⓑⓙⓞⓝⓐ /⃝
A compass bearing of 135 degrees points southeast.
Bearing is a way of describing direction. It is a 3 digit number (including leading zeros). A heading due North is a bearing of 000. The bearing increases clockwise, so that East is a bearing of 090, South is 180, and West is 270.
A bearing of 450 degrees on a compass corresponds to due east. In compass bearings, 0 degrees represents north, 90 degrees represents east, 180 degrees represents south, and 270 degrees represents west. Therefore, a bearing of 450 degrees would be 90 degrees past due east.
The compass direction from Bermuda to Charleston, SC, is generally northwest. Specifically, the bearing is approximately 300 degrees on a compass. This direction accounts for the curvature of the Earth and the relative positions of the two locations.
