Solution:

a.  Mark the angle in a clockwise direction by indicating the turn between the north line and the line joining the centre of the compass to the point P.

The bearing of point P is 048°.

b.  Mark the angle in a clockwise direction by indicating the turn between the north line and the line joining the centre of the compass to the point P.

The cardinal point S corresponds to 180°.  It is clear from the diagram that the required angle is 60° larger than 180°.  So, the angle measured in a clockwise direction from the north line to the line joining the centre of the compass to point P is 180° + 60° = 240°.

So, the bearing of point P is 240°.

c.  Mark the angle in a clockwise direction by indicating the turn between the north line and the line joining the centre of the compass to the point P.

The cardinal point S corresponds to 180°.  It is clear from the diagram that the required angle is 40° less than 180°.  So, the angle measured in a clockwise direction from the north line to the line joining the centre of the compass to point P is 180° – 40° = 140°.

So, the bearing of point P is 140°.

d.  Mark the angle in a clockwise direction by indicating the turn between the north line and the line joining the centre of the compass to the point P.

The cardinal point W corresponds to 270°.  It is clear from the diagram that the required angle is 20° larger than 270°.  So, the angle measured in a clockwise direction from the north line to the line joining the centre of the compass to point P is 270° + 20° = 290°.

So, the bearing of point P is 290°.
