Reverse Bearing Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Reverse Bearing.
RB = CB + 180
- Where RB is the Reverse Bearing (degrees)
- CB is the current bearing (degrees)
To calculate a reverse bearing, simply add 180 degrees to the current bearing.
How to Calculate Reverse Bearing?
The following example problems outline how to calculate Reverse Bearing.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the current bearing (degrees).
- The current bearing (degrees) is given as: 50.
- Finally, calculate the Reverse Bearing using the equation above:
RB = CB + 180
The values given above are inserted into the equation below and the solution is calculated:
RB = 50 + 180 = 230 (degrees)
Example Problem #2:
For this problem, the variables required are provided below:
current bearing (degrees) = 80
Test your knowledge using the equation and check your answer with the calculator above.
RB = CB + 180 = ?
