The diagram shows the positions of four checkpoints W, X, Y and Z in a jungle reserve area. The checkpoints are connected by the irregular tracks shown. X is due north of Y and is on a bearing of from W. Angle and is 60 metres.

- ((i))
Calculate the distance .
Answer ------------------------------------------------ m
- ((ii))
Given that the bearing of Y from Z is , write down the bearing of Z from Y.
Answer ------------------------------------------------
- ((iii))
A hidden camera, , is to be fixed at checkpoint to capture animals that move from to via , along the irregular track. The camera has a view angle of and can capture anything within this angle as shown in the diagram below.
By measurement, determine the minimum bearing where the line must be pointed when the camera is fixed at point .

Worked solution
22((i))
1. Find the angle at X in triangle WXY using the bearing information.
Since is due north of , the direction from to is due south, bearing .
The bearing of from is , so the bearing of from is
Hence
2. Use the sine rule to calculate XY.
In ,
m, and is opposite .
By the sine rule,
So
22((ii))
1. Find the reverse bearing from $Y$ to $Z$.
The bearing of from is .
The bearing of from is the reverse bearing:
22((iii))
1. Find the smallest direction from $Y$ that must be included in the camera view.
From , the bearing of is . Since , the bearing of from is
Hence the reverse bearing, from to , is
From part (ii), the bearing of from is .
Since and the difference is
the camera can cover both directions if the lower boundary line is pointed at . This is the minimum possible bearing.
