-7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Now you can tell me wich is the closest number.
And how would I do that via computer? If this is homework, do it your self, it's not that hard. Draw it and scan it (man computer doesn't have the ability to scan things)
Answer: d = 29 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
S11°W = 259° on a unit circle
N75°E = 15° on a unit circle
x separation after two hours
x = 2(8cos15 - 18cos259) = 21.179 miles
y separation after two hours
x = 2(8sin15 - 18sin259) = 19.7398 miles
total distance between them is
d = √(19.7398² + 21.179²) = 28.9518... ≈ 29 miles
Hope this helped :)
