Bearing: N/A

Data Source and Methodology

All calculations are based on standard trigonometric formulas and principles. Consult reliable engineering sources for further details.

The Formula Explained

Bearing: \( \text{Bearing} = \text{End Point} - \text{Start Point} \)

Glossary of Variables

How It Works: A Step-by-Step Example

Suppose the start point is 45 degrees, and the end point is 135 degrees. The bearing is calculated as \( 135 - 45 = 90 \) degrees.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is a bearing in trigonometry?

In trigonometry, a bearing is a direction or path along which something moves or along which it lies.

How do you calculate a bearing?

Bearing can be calculated using trigonometric functions such as sine and cosine, based on the known angles and distances.

Why are bearings important?

Bearings are critical in navigation and engineering to determine the direction between two points.

Can this calculator handle negative angles?

Yes, negative angles are converted to their positive equivalents in calculations.
