This document provides an overview of a lesson on using trigonometry to solve bearings problems. It discusses using right triangles to solve a basic problem of traveling north then east. For more complex multi-step bearings problems, it notes they can be solved using rules for non-right triangles like the cosine and sine rules. It provides an example of a ship sailing on two bearings from point A to B and explains the cosine and sine rules will be used to solve such problems.
