Bearing Y From W


1. **State the problem:** We need to find the bearing of point Y from point W given the angles between rays from W. 2. **Understand bearings:** Bearings are measured clockwise from the north direction (N) at point W. 3. **Given angles:** - Angle between N and WZ is 124° - Angle between WZ and WY is 32° - Angle between WY and WX is 114° 4. **Calculate bearing of Y from W:** - Bearing of Z from W is 124° (given) - Bearing of Y from W is bearing of Z plus angle between WZ and WY $$\text{Bearing of Y} = 124^\circ + 32^\circ = 156^\circ$$ 5. **Interpretation:** The bearing of Y from W is 156°, meaning Y lies 156° clockwise from north at W. **Final answer:** The bearing of Y from W is $156^\circ$.
