What is Bearings to Azimuths?

Bearings to Azimuths conversion refers to the process of converting a bearing angle to its corresponding azimuth angle. Bearings are typically used in navigation and surveying to describe directions, whereas azimuths are often used in mapping and astronomy. The conversion is straightforward and involves subtracting the bearing angle from 180 degrees.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following value:

Using the formula:

\[ A = 180 - 45 = 135 \text{ degrees} \]

The Azimuth is 135 degrees.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following value:

Using the formula:

\[ A = 180 - 120 = 60 \text{ degrees} \]

The Azimuth is 60 degrees.
