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.

What is the direction for the bearing 112 degrees?
Oh, dude, the direction for a bearing of 112 degrees is like... northeast. Yeah, that's the one. So, if you're lost in the woods and you see a bear, just remember to head northeast... or maybe just run in any direction, really.
What is the difference in area between a kite and a rhombus?
The dimensions of each one are going to have some bearing on the answer.
