1. **Problem Statement:** Measure the bearings of points B from A using a protractor in given diagrams.
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.
4. **Example:** If the bearing of B from A is 045°, it means B lies 45° clockwise from north at A.

**Problem 2:** Find the bearing of school A from school B.
- If bearing of B from A is known, bearing of A from B = (bearing of B from A + 180°) mod 360°.

**Problem 3:** Two boats A and B are 5 km apart; bearing of B from A is 250°.
- Draw line AB with A at origin.
- Bearing of B from A = 250° means B is 250° clockwise from north at A.
- Bearing of A from B = (250° + 180°) mod 360° = 70°.

**Problem 4:** Ships A, B, C with given bearings and distances.
- Bearing of B from A = 045°.
- Ship C is east of A, so bearing of C from A = 090°.
- Bearing of C from B = 180°.
- Distance AB = 10 km.
- To find bearing of A from C and distance AC, use triangle properties and trigonometry.
- Using coordinates:
- Place A at origin (0,0).
- B at (10 cos 45°, 10 sin 45°) = (7.07, 7.07).
- C is east of A, so at (x,0).
- Since bearing of C from B is 180°, C lies directly south of B.
- So, C has same x-coordinate as B, y-coordinate less than B.
- Therefore, C = (7.07, y).
- Since C is east of A, y=0.
- So, C = (7.07, 0).
- Distance AC = 7.07 km.
- Bearing of A from C is angle from north clockwise to line CA.
- Vector CA = A - C = (0 - 7.07, 0 - 0) = (-7.07, 0).
- This points west, so bearing = 270°.

**Problem 5:** Babar Azam walks from P to Q at bearing 050° for 3 km, then Q to R at bearing 140°.
- Distance PR = 5 km.
- Find QR and bearing of R from P.
- Use law of cosines and sines in triangle PQR.
- Angle between PQ and PR = 140° - 50° = 90°.
- Triangle with sides PQ=3 km, PR=5 km, angle between them 90°.
- Using law of cosines:
$$QR^2 = PQ^2 + PR^2 - 2 \times PQ \times PR \times \cos(90^\circ)$$
$$QR^2 = 3^2 + 5^2 - 0 = 9 + 25 = 34$$
$$QR = \sqrt{34} \approx 5.83 \text{ km}$$
- To find bearing of R from P, use vector addition or law of sines.

**Problem 6:** Rayyan spots snake north, Sarim 25 m east of Rayyan spots snake.
- Bearing of Sarim from snake = 122°.
- Find distance Rayyan to snake.
- Use triangle with points Rayyan (R), Sarim (S), Snake (Sn).
- Given SnS bearing 122°, so angle at snake between north and Sarim is 122°.
- Rayyan is north of snake, so distance RS is 25 m east.
- Use law of sines or right triangle properties to find distance from Rayyan to snake.

**Problem 7:** Bilal travels 12 km at bearing 060°, then 5 km at 150°.
- Find distance from football ground to home.
- Use vector components:
- First leg: 12 km at 60°
- Second leg: 5 km at 150°
- Sum vectors and find resultant distance.

**Problem 8:** Car travels 13 km at bearing 040°.
- Find north and east components:
- North = $13 \times \cos 40^\circ \approx 9.95$ km
- East = $13 \times \sin 40^\circ \approx 8.36$ km
---
**Final answers:**
- Bearing of A from B in problem 3: $70^\circ$
- Bearing of A from C in problem 4: $270^\circ$, distance AC = 7.07 km
- Distance QR in problem 5: $\sqrt{34} \approx 5.83$ km
- North and east components in problem 8: 9.95 km north, 8.36 km east
