The problem describes a triangle \(ABC\) where all angles are the same, meaning it's an equilateral triangle. 

### Key observations:
1. Triangle \(ABC\) is equilateral, so all angles are \(60^\circ\).
2. Point \(C\) is due east of point \(B\), meaning the line \(BC\) is horizontal.
3. You are asked to find the bearing of point \(B\) from point \(A\). Bearings are measured clockwise from the north.

### Steps to solve:
1. Since \(ABC\) is equilateral, the angle at each vertex is \(60^\circ\). Specifically, the angle \( \angle BAC = 60^\circ \).
2. We also know that the line from \(B\) to \(C\) is horizontal (due east). This means the angle from north at point \(A\) to the line \(AB\) is the same as the interior angle of the equilateral triangle.
3. To calculate the bearing of \(B\) from \(A\), note that the bearing is measured clockwise from north. Since the angle at \(A\) is \(60^\circ\) and north points directly upward (vertically), the bearing is:
   \[
   \text{Bearing of } B \text{ from } A = 360^\circ - 60^\circ = 300^\circ
   \]

Thus, the bearing of point \(B\) from point \(A\) is **300°**.
