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.

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?
its East...
The compass direction of travel.
It is a bearing (a direction) based on a magnetic compass reading.
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 /⃝Ⓡⓐⓙⓘⓥⓑⓙⓞⓝⓐ /⃝
Heading indicates the direction the ship/aircraft/vehicle you are in is moving toward. Bearing is normally used to indicate the direction something else is relative to you. The ship was heading 085 and maintaining a station on the carrier at two miles and a bearing of 200 from the carrier. This is often the case where a ship or airplane is "pointed" on a bearing across the wind or current and "moving" on a heading that is the natural consequence of the combined forces on the hull.
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.

The definition of a true compass bearing - A true bearing is measured in relation to the fixed horizontal reference plane of True North, that is using the direction towards the geographic North Pole as a reference point.
