Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
\(cos\theta = \frac{adj}{hyp}=\frac{300}{600}=\frac{1}{2}\\
\theta = cos^{-1}(0.5000)=60^{\circ}\)
The bearing of P from \(Q = \theta + 180 = 60 + 180 = 240^{\circ}\)
\(cos\theta = \frac{adj}{hyp}=\frac{300}{600}=\frac{1}{2}\\
\theta = cos^{-1}(0.5000)=60^{\circ}\)
The bearing of P from \(Q = \theta + 180 = 60 + 180 = 240^{\circ}\)
