    Never saw those questions, If I was to guess, I would subtract those numbers from 360.
    You will get either 3 wrong or 3 right?
    Don't blame me if I'm wrong. Good Luck.

    Do you know what they mean, bearings?

    I'll give you pictures:

    What they are asking is the angle with the question mark. Can you solve the problem now? Post your answers.

    Note that all the angles are from the north direction.

    Unknown008,
    This is why people should be wary of asking others of test questions.
    I am a Fair Air, Land, Water, Underwater, Celestial Navigator.
    Just never saw this question.
    My wrong answers were not intentional, and figured no one would answer if this was considered Homework. This way Both Myself and the Poster Learned from this.
    Thanks for the answer, and No red. Take Care
