Answer 1

The bearing between points A and B is approximately 2.25 radians, or 129 degrees (rounded to the nearest degree).

To compute the bearing and distance between points A and B, we can use the Haversine formula. Given that:
Point A: N 1000.0000 E 1000.0000

Point B: N 928.1000 E 1500.5912
We can first calculate the differences in longitude and latitude:
Δlat = latB - latA = 928.1000 - 1000.0000 = -71.9
Δlon = lonB - lonA = 1500.5912 - 1000.
