X, Y and Z are three points on a map. Y is 75 km and on a bearing of 190 from x. Z is on a bearing of 140 from Y. Z is due south of x Calculate the distance between x and Z rounded to 1 dp?

First draw a diagram. You will see that XYZ form a scalene triangle. Now to work out the distance from X, you will want to find out the internal angles of the triangle. You know that Z is on a bearing due 140 from Y, since Z is due south of X, You can continue to draw the line from YZ and you will see that the angles on the line add up to 180 degrees. Therefore YZX is 40 deg. Since Y is bearing 190 deg from X, we can just do 190-180=10 to find out the internal angle YXZ. Then we can calculate the final angle 180-40-10=130. You can then use A/sina=B/sinb to find the distance ZX. 75/sin40 x sin130=89.38km

Study smarter, learn faster without working harder

I spent a lot of my class time in secondary school being bored and restless. I was NOT a model student. Sitting in a class was always so boring to me. Then I discovered fun ways of making the lessons interesting when I attended the Mind Olympics in Earls Court. The 'mind athletes' at this event learned how to use their brains like a musical instrument. Learning and memorising facts easily like picking up feathers. Ever since that time I have been learning many subjects and showing other students how to enjoy their subjects while find better ways to get the results they want.

Yahya Abu

Maths | Economics | 6 years experience

Graduated with a First Class Honours in Economics and Finance at Queen Mary University. I have 6 years experience teaching Maths and Economics and love teaching them both from a very basic level to more advanced. I tailor my teaching methods to cater for the needs of different students - and if you’re like me and take time to understand things, dont worry - I will ensure I take things slowly and only move on when you are happy with a topic. I’ve taught over 200 students in total over 6 years and am still looking to help students out with subjects I know.

"Fail to prepare, prepare to fail"

I studied at Ampleforth College in North Yorkshire. Here I spent 5 years as a Maths Tutor to my peers and those younger than me. Since then I have privately tutor a variety of subjects from Maths, English, Science, Economics, and much more. This experience has made me adept at interacting with and communicating clearly to those whom I teach. I have experience with AQA, Edexcel, iGCSE and OCR examination boards. I have recently received my MSc in Mental Health & Law from King’s College London (Pass with Merit); and before this a First Class Honours in Philosophy BA. I know exactly what it takes to get a head start in the subjects I tutor. In addition, I have experience teaching children with SEN. GCSE results: -4 a*s -7 a's A-Level results: -Economics-A -Government and Politics-A -Math-A
