The image depicts a diagram with two intersecting lines, forming an angle that is labeled with a question mark. The lines are marked with directional bearings. - The line on the left is labeled "N56°22'08"W," which indicates a bearing of 56 degrees, 22 minutes, and 8 seconds to the west from north.- The line on the right is labeled "N28°53'26"E," representing a bearing of 28 degrees, 53 minutes, and 26 seconds to the east from north.The angle between these two lines is indicated by an arc and a question mark, signifying that this is the unknown angle to be determined. The bearings suggest the orientation of the lines relative to the cardinal directions, often used in navigation or surveying to describe a specific direction.

Step 1

Introduction:

Bearing:

The direction of survey lines with respect to a meridian is all that a bearing requires. A fixed reference line is the Meridian. There are two different types of bearing systems: whole circle bearing and reduced bearing. From one system to another, we can convert

Reduced Circle Bearing:

Depending on which direction is closest to the line—north or south—the bearing of a survey line is measured either clockwise or anticlockwise. Quadrantal Bearing System is another name for the reduced bearing.

Whole Circle Bearing:

From the reference meridian's north, bearings are measured clockwise. The Azimuthal System is an alternative name for it.
