document.write( "Question 1198808: The bearing from A to B is S 27⁰ E, and the bearing from B to C is N 63⁰ E. A ship traveling at 12 nautical miles per hour needs 1.25 hours to go from A to B and 1.75 hours to go from B to C. Find the bearing, to the nearest tenth, from B to A. \n" ); document.write( "

**1. Understand Bearings**\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "* Bearings are measured clockwise from North.
\n" ); document.write( "* S 27° E means 27° East of South.
\n" ); document.write( "* N 63° E means 63° East of North.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "**2. Find the Bearing from B to A**\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "* **Bearing from A to B:** S 27° E
\n" ); document.write( " * This is 27° clockwise from South.
\n" ); document.write( " * To find the bearing from B to A, we need to find the opposite direction.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "* **Bearing from B to A:**
\n" ); document.write( " * 180° (South to North) + 27° = 207°
\n" ); document.write( " * This is 207° clockwise from North, which can be written as **S 73° W**\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "**Therefore, the bearing from B to A is S 73° W.**\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "**Note:**\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "* The given information about the ship's speed and travel times is not necessary to solve this problem.
\n" ); document.write( "* The bearing from B to A depends solely on the directions of travel between the points.
