Find back bearings:
Following are the observed fore bearings of the lines. Find their back bearings:
AB 42o 34′, BC 163o 46′
CD 204o 29′, DE 337o 52′
(c) (d)
Figure : BB from FB
(a) FB of AB = 42o 34′
Back bearing of line AB
= Fore bearing of AB + 180o
= 42o 34′ + 180o
= 222o 34′
(b) FB of BC = 163o 46′
Back bearing of line BC
= Fore bearing of BC + 180o
= 163o 46′ + 180o
= 343o 46′
(c) FB of CD = 204o 29′
Back bearing of line CD
= Fore bearing of BC - 180o
= 204o 29′ - 180o
= 24o 29′
(d) FB of DE = 337o 52′
Back bearing of line DE
= Fore bearing of DE - 180o
= 337o 52′ - 180o
= 157o 52′
