From a point TT, a man moves 12 km12\text{ km} due west and then 12 km12\text{ km} due south to another point QQ. Calculate the bearing of TT from QQ.

Worked solution (try it first)
  1. QQ is 12 km west and 12 km south of TT.
  2. So from QQ, TT is 12 km east and 12 km north.
  3. Equal amounts north and east means TT is exactly north-east of QQ.
  4. North-east is a bearing of 045∘045^\circ, option C.
