The answer is 315 degrees!
Bearing 0 degrees would be north
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.
Usually north when talking about bearings, it is one full rotation from 0o.
An angle of 315 degrees is a reflex angle
The answer is 315 degrees!
The ship is traveling west which means that the ship is traveling at a bearing of 270 degrees. The lighthouse is 10km northwest of the ship at time point 0. Northwest means the lighthouse is at a bearing of 315 degrees from the ship. This means that the angle between the direction the ship is going and the lighthouse is 315 - 270 = 45 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.
450 degrees corresponds to a bearing in the southeast direction.
When we measure wind direction, we go by the direction it is blowing out of. If we have 315. 360-45 = 315 which on a compass is NW. This wind we are talking about here is out of the NW. It would then be blowing SE.
45 degrees is NE
A bearing of 450 degrees on a compass represents a direction of due 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 /⃝Ⓡⓐⓙⓘⓥⓑⓙⓞⓝⓐ /⃝
225 degrees
Bearing 0 degrees would be north
The wind would be blowing from the northwest.
Direction N38E means a bearing of 38 degrees east of north. It indicates a direction that is 38 degrees east of due north when using a compass.
