Stage 8 - Q1 - 2 marks
Write forty degrees as a three-figure bearing.
Hint
Include a leading zero.
Stage 8 - Q2 - 2 marks
Write the bearing for due west.
Hint
Each compass quarter turn is ninety degrees.
Stage 8 - Q3 - 2 marks
A path is 25 degrees east of north. Give its bearing.
Hint
East of north is already a clockwise turn.
Stage 8 - Q4 - 2 marks
A path is 55 degrees west of north. Give its bearing.
Hint
Complete the clockwise turn instead of measuring anticlockwise.
Stage 8 - Q5 - 3 marks
Draw a bearing of \(135^{\circ}\) from A and place B on the ray. Use a north line and protractor.
Hint
The direction lies halfway between east and south.
Stage 8 - Q6 - 3 marks
A robot faces \(350^{\circ}\) and turns 25 degrees clockwise. Find its new bearing.
Hint
A bearing wraps around at a full turn.
Stage 8 - Q7 - 4 marks
After an 80-degree clockwise turn, a robot faces \(045^{\circ}\). Find its original bearing.
Hint
Work backwards from the final heading.
Stage 8 - Q8 - 4 marks
A direction is 38 degrees east of south. Another is 38 degrees south of east. Are the bearings equal? Find both.
Hint
Draw the compass directions before adding or subtracting.
Stage 8 - Q9 - 5 marks
A robot faces \(300^{\circ}\), turns 90 degrees clockwise, then 135 degrees anticlockwise. Find its final bearing and the single net turn.
Hint
Combine signed turns before changing the heading.
Stage 8 - Q10 - 6 marks
A faulty compass card measures clockwise from south instead of north. It reports 070° for one route and 260° for another. Find both correct bearings and explain a rule that fixes every reading.
Hint
Both systems turn clockwise, but their zero directions differ.
