Answer 1

The coordinates of Ship A and B are missing, so i have attached it

Answer:

The vessel in distress is located at the coordinate (1, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates attached shows that;

We are told that Ship A receives a distress signal from the north, And ship B receives a distress signal from the same vessel from the southeast.

Now, from the image attached, If we imagine extending the line of ship A that is getting distress signal from southeast and also same thing for ship B that is getting signal from north,we'll discover that the lines intersect at a point with co-ordinates of approximately; (1, 2)
