Chapter 4: Problem 62

The bearing \(\mathrm{N} 24^{\circ} \mathrm{E}\) means 24 degrees north of east.

Short Answer

Expert verified
The bearing 'N 24 degrees E' means a direction that corresponds to 66 degrees when converted into the standard compass bearing notation.

Step by step solution

01

Understand Compass Bearings

A compass bearing is used in navigation to describe a direction. True North is represented as 0 or 360 degrees, true East as 90 degrees, true South as 180 degrees, and true West as 270 degrees.
02

Interpret the Given Bearing

The bearing 'N 24 degrees E' means a direction that is 24 degrees to the North of East. Start at the true East (90 degrees) and move 24 degrees towards the North.
03

Calculate the Resulting Bearing

The resulting bearing can be calculated by subtracting the given degrees from 90. So, the resulting bearing degree is \(90 - 24 = 66\).
