About this lesson
This is the sixth video in the series looking at Trigonometry (and it's applications) for the Year 11 (VCE) Units 1 and 2 General Maths course (but relevant all over the world). In this video I look at what bearings are and how we can use them for navigation. I look at the three important things to remember when using bearings and show how we can solve problems using bearing. There are a number of worked examples all explained in an easy to understand way.
