How to convert bearings to azimuths?

Understand the Problem

The question is asking for the method or steps to convert bearings into azimuths, which are both ways of representing directions in navigation and surveying.

Answer

Convert bearings to azimuths using quadrant rules.

To convert bearings to azimuths, use the rules based on the quadrant: NE: azimuth = bearing, SE: azimuth = 180° - bearing, SW: azimuth = 180° + bearing, NW: azimuth = 360° - bearing.

Answer for screen readers

To convert bearings to azimuths, use the rules based on the quadrant: NE: azimuth = bearing, SE: azimuth = 180° - bearing, SW: azimuth = 180° + bearing, NW: azimuth = 360° - bearing.

More Information

Bearings are directional angles divided into four quadrants, while azimuths are clockwise angles from true north, making conversion dependent on the bearing's direction.

Tips

Be sure to correctly identify the bearing's quadrant to apply the right conversion formula.
