A man walks 100 m due West from a point X to Y, he then walks 100 m due North to a point Z. Find the bearing of X from Z.
A
195o
B
135o
C
225o
D
045o
Verified Correct Answer: B.
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
tan\(\theta\) = \(\frac{100}{100}\) = 1
\(\theta\) = tan-1(1) = 45o
The bearing of x from z is N45oE or 135o
