1. **Problem Statement:** Measure bearings and solve related problems involving bearings and distances between points.
2. **Understanding Bearings:** Bearing is the angle measured clockwise from the north direction to the line connecting two points.
3. **Formula:** Bearing = angle clockwise from north to the line AB.

**Problem 3:** Find bearing of A from B given bearing of B from A = 250°.
- Use formula: Bearing of A from B = (bearing of B from A + 180°) mod 360°.
- Calculate: (250° + 180°) mod 360° = 430° mod 360° = 70°.
**Answer:** Bearing of A from B = $70^\circ$.

**Problem 4:** Ships A, B, C with bearings and distances.
- Place A at origin (0,0).
- B at $(10\cos 45^\circ, 10\sin 45^\circ) = (7.07, 7.07)$.
- C is east of A, so at $(x,0)$.
- Bearing of C from B = 180°, so C lies directly south of B, meaning same x-coordinate as B and y less than B.
- Since C is east of A, $y=0$, so $C = (7.07, 0)$.
- Distance $AC = \sqrt{(7.07-0)^2 + (0-0)^2} = 7.07$ km.
- Vector $CA = A - C = (-7.07, 0)$ points west.
- Bearing of A from C is angle clockwise from north to vector CA, which is $270^\circ$.
**Answer:** Bearing of A from C = $270^\circ$, distance $AC = 7.07$ km.

**Problem 5:** Babar Azam walks from P to Q at bearing $50^\circ$ for 3 km, then Q to R at bearing $140^\circ$. Distance PR = 5 km.
- Angle between PQ and PR = $140^\circ - 50^\circ = 90^\circ$.
- Use law of cosines to find QR:
$$QR^2 = PQ^2 + PR^2 - 2 \times PQ \times PR \times \cos 90^\circ = 3^2 + 5^2 - 0 = 9 + 25 = 34$$
- So, $QR = \sqrt{34} \approx 5.83$ km.
**Answer:** Distance $QR \approx 5.83$ km.

**Problem 8:** Car travels 13 km at bearing $40^\circ$.
- North component = $13 \times \cos 40^\circ \approx 9.95$ km.
- East component = $13 \times \sin 40^\circ \approx 8.36$ km.
**Answer:** North = 9.95 km, East = 8.36 km.

**Summary of final answers:**
- Bearing of A from B (Problem 3): $70^\circ$
- Bearing of A from C and distance AC (Problem 4): $270^\circ$, 7.07 km
- Distance QR (Problem 5): 5.83 km
- North and East components (Problem 8): 9.95 km north, 8.36 km east
