Look at the number where the "Point B" line crosses the protractor, moving clockwise from North. That number is your azimuth! 3. Pro Tips for Your Atlas Tasks Here is a helpful guide (blog post style)
An is the angle between the direction to the North and the direction to a specific object, measured clockwise in degrees. 1. The Main "Cheatsheet" for Directions The Main "Cheatsheet" for Directions Before you start
Before you start measuring, remember these four "anchor" points on the compass rose: 0∘0 raised to the composed with power 360∘360 raised to the composed with power East (E): 90∘90 raised to the composed with power South (S): 180∘180 raised to the composed with power West (W): 270∘270 raised to the composed with power 2. How to Determine Azimuth on a Map (Step-by-Step) the angle will be large (e.g.
If your atlas task asks you to "Determine the azimuth from point A to point B," follow these steps:
Locate the north-south lines (meridians) on your map. North is always at the top.
Never measure counter-clockwise. Even if an object is slightly to the left of North (West), the angle will be large (e.g., 320∘320 raised to the composed with power ), not a small negative number.
