Find the back bearings of the following lines from the observed Fore Bearings:(a)  79° 24′(b)  354° 24′(c)  178 ° 4′(d)  204 ° 12′

Find the back bearings of the following lines from the observed Fore Bearings:(a)  79° 24′(b)  354° 24′(c)  178 ° 4′(d)  204 ° 12′

solutions :

(a) 79°24′

Fore bearing = 79° 24′

Back bearing = FB +180° ( as the FB is less than 180° )

= 79°24′ +180°

= 259°24′

(b) 354°24′

Fore bearing= 354°24′

Back Bearing = FB-180° ( as the FB Is greater than 180° )

= 354°24′ – 180°

= 174°56′

(c) 178°04′

Fore bearing = 178°04′

Back bearing=FB +180° ( as the FB is less than 180° )

=178°4′ +180°

= 358°04′

(d) 204°12′

Fore bearing = 204°12′

Back Bearing = FB-180° ( as the FB Is greater than 180° )

= 204 °12′ – 180°

= 24°12′
