The formula to calculate the angle between two bearings (θ) is:
\[ θ = |(B2 - B1 + 360) \% 360| \]
Where:
The angle between bearings is the angular difference between two directional bearings. Bearings are used in navigation to indicate direction relative to a reference point, usually true north. The angle between bearings is crucial for navigation, surveying, and various engineering applications, as it helps in determining the relative direction and position of objects or locations.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula to calculate the angle between bearings:
\[ θ = |(120 - 45 + 360) \% 360| = |(75 + 360) \% 360| = |435 \% 360| = |75| = 75° \]
The angle between bearings (θ) is 75°.
