GCSE Maths - What are Bearings? #118

The video tutorial explains how to use bearings, commonly used in navigation, by introducing three key rules: measuring angles from the north, measuring clockwise, and using three digits. It provides examples, including finding the bearing of point P from Q and solving an exam-style question involving bearings to locate a pond. The tutorial also addresses practical challenges, such as using a protractor to measure angles greater than 180 degrees.
