Hi guys, so I just recently started a unit in my math class on trig... I've understood everything pretty well so far, until I came across true bearings. I guess what I'm asking you to is to show me how to approach and answer these questions. Sorry if these types of questions are really easy, and I just happened to overlook something simple, but I really do appreciate the help! Oh also, if you need clarification on something, or anything along those lines, feel free to ask, thank you!

Here's the question...

As far as I know, you're just finding the direction of travel, with respect to North, which is zero degrees. So, for instance, in graph (a), the bearing of B from A (that is, the direction you'd be moving when going from A to B) would be 41 degrees. Going to B from C, you'd be moving northwest at an angle of 360 - 142 degrees. And so forth. ;)
