The bearing of a point Y from point x is 150^\circ. What is the bearing of X from Y?
A
330°
B
240°
C
150°
D
120°
E
30°
Verified Correct Answer: A.
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
From the diagram above, the bearing of X from Y is 330º
(The bearing from Y to X is the opposite direction of the bearing from X to Y. Since bearings are measured clockwise, to find the reverse bearing, you need to add 180^\circ to the original bearing and then adjust for any values over 360^\circ)
