Let’s say it takes time t hours for the interception.
In that time the carrier travels 28t nm west and the helicopter 130t nm.
Now we use the sine rule to find the angle x which lies between the distance 175 and 130t.
sin(x)/28t=sin35/130t. So sin(x)=28sin35/130=14sin35/65=0.1235 and x=7.0964 degrees.
Therefore the helicopter should use a bearing of 35+7.0964=42.0964 degrees north of east or 47.9 degrees east of north approx.

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use triangle inequality, let AC = x:

x+4 > 5

x+5 > 4

9 > x

Simplifying:

x>1

x>-1

9>x

Thus: 9>x>1

So the Largest whole number is 8
