The term, bearing is used to mention the angle relative to the North in clockwise direction. If the bearing is 0° it is due North. Similarly 90°, 180°, 270° bearing angles are due East, South, and West respectively.

A ship travelled from location A on a bearing 20° and on reaching location B it changed its navigation on a bearing 90°.  When it reached C its bearing changed to 140° till it reached location D. Now the ship needs to travel back to its original location, A, on a bearing of 280°
