Hi! Can someone help to solve this for me? If the bearing of A from B is 215, what will the bearing of B from A?

The bearing from B-to-A is directly opposite the bearing from A-to-B. There are 360 degrees in a complete circle, so .. how many degrees do you turn to go in the opposite direction? Subtract that from the original bearing and you'll have your answer.

The bearing from B to A is directly opposite to the bearing from A to B.
So you have to subtract 215 from 360 to find bearing from B to A because there are 360 degrees in a complete circle.


Wrong - 215 subtracted from 360 is 145, and that is NOT the bearing opposite 215.
