The direction is 7⁰ from west to the south.
We need to know about the degree and direction to solve this problem. The angle between west and south is 90⁰.
From the question above, we know that
Position = 10⁰ south of west
Destination = 17⁰ south of west
Hence, the direction of the ship should be
Direction from west = Destination - Position
Direction from west = 17⁰ - 10⁰
Direction from west = 7⁰
The direction is 7⁰ from west
or
Direction from south = Destination - Position
Direction from south = (90⁰ - 17⁰) - (90⁰ - 10⁰)
Direction from south = -7⁰
The direction is 7⁰ to the south.
Hence, the direction is 7⁰ from west to the south.
