Answer 1

I hope this helps you I am 85% sure this is correct

Answer 2

Answer:

  32 mi @ N77°E

Step-by-step explanation:

The route of travel forms legs of a right triangle, so the final distance (d) from harbor can be found using the Pythagorean theorem:

  d² = 28² +16² = 784 +256 = 1040

  d = √1040 ≈ 32.249 . . . miles

___

The angle (α) added to the original N47°E bearing can be found using the fact that opposite and adjacent sides are given. So, they can tell you the tangent of the angle:

  tan(α) = 16/28

  α = arctan(16/28) ≈ 29.74°

Then the bearing to the final position is ...

  47° +29.74° = 76.74°  . . . . . east of north

Rounded to whole numbers, the final position from harbor is ...

  32 miles @ N 77° E
