Distance and Bearing Problems 27 through 32 involve directions in the form of bearing, which we defined in this section. Remember that bearing is always measured from a north-south line. A man wandering in the desert walks 2.3 miles in the direction S 310 W. He then turns 90 and walks 3.5 miles in the direction N 59 W. At that time, how far is he from his starting point, and what is his bearing from his starting point?
