- 1.The angle between north and a footpath is 35°, measured clockwise from north. What is the three-figure bearing of the footpath?
- 2.The bearing of a campsite B from a walker's position A is 070°. What is the bearing of A from B?
- 3.A treasure map has a scale of 1 cm to 4 m. A path from the start to a rock is drawn as two straight sections, measuring 3 cm and 2.5 cm. Work out the total real distance from the start to the rock, in metres.
- 4.A hiker walks due west. What is the three-figure bearing for this direction?

- 6.A scale drawing shows a room that is 5 cm wide. The real room is 15 m wide. Write the scale of the drawing in the form 1 : n.
- 7.A bearing is described as being exactly halfway between north and east, measured clockwise. What is the three-figure bearing?
- 8.A survey team measures the angle between two fences with a protractor and gets a reading of 254°. What type of angle is this?

- 14.The bearing of a harbour B from a ferry's position A is 260°. What is the bearing of A from B?
- 15.A plan of a car park is drawn to a scale of 1 : 500. A parking bay is drawn as a rectangle measuring 1.2 cm by 0.6 cm. The real width of the bay corresponds to the 0.6 cm side. What is the real width of the bay, in metres?
