Answer:
- See below
Step-by-step explanation:
a)
i)
<u>Use the law of cosines:</u>
ii)
<u>Use the law of sines:</u>
- sin ∠A / PB = sin ∠P / AB
- sin ∠A / 100 = sin 80 / 107.31
- sin ∠A = 100 sin 80 deg / 107.31
- sin ∠A = 0.92
- ∠A = arcsin 0.92
- ∠A = 67° (rounded)
iii)
<u>Bearing of B from A:</u>
- 90° + (67° - 30°) =
- 127°
b)
<u>PB is longer distance. Time to reach B:</u>
- t = d/s
- t = 100/20 = 5 hours
<u>The speed s of the slower ship:</u>
- s = d/t
- s = 60/5 = 12 km/h
