We are given a diagram with points X, Y, O and North, East, West, South directions. We are given that $\angle WOX = 60^\circ$, $\angle YOE = 50^\circ$, and $\angle OXY = 30^\circ$. The problem asks us to find the bearing of X from Y. The bearing of X from Y is the angle measured clockwise from the north direction at point Y to the line segment YX.

1. Problem Description
We are given a diagram with points X, Y, O and North, East, West, South directions. We are given that , , and . The problem asks us to find the bearing of X from Y. The bearing of X from Y is the angle measured clockwise from the north direction at point Y to the line segment YX.
2. Solution Steps
First, we need to find the angle . Since and , we have .
Next, we need to find the angle . Since and , we have .
In triangle , we have . Also, we can find only if and are on the same side of the North line, but the image shows that and are on opposite sides of the North line. Thus,
Alternatively,
Then, is not given in the problem but we can calculate
Thus,
Now we can find , the interior angle at vertex , using the fact that the sum of angles in a triangle is .
, , so
.
Let the angle we want to find be . This is the bearing of from , which is the angle measured clockwise from North at to .
Consider the North line at . The angle between the North line and the line is . The angle between the line and the line is .
Therefore, the bearing of from is .
Let the angle be . Then, the angle between and is:
The bearing will be:
where X is
We can create parallel lines to create similar triangles. Let represent the parallel version of North from from which the bearing will be observed from . is equal to .
3. Final Answer
A. 300°
