Answer:

=135.53°

Step-by-step explanation:

The bearing that the captain should turn is the angle difference between the two islands from the position of the ship.

Let C be the position of the ship, then

AB is c=160

AC is b=220

BC is a=200

We use the cosine rule as follows:

c²=a²+b²-2ab Cos C

160²=200²+220²-2×200×220 Cos C

25600=88400-88000Cos C

88000 Cos C=88400-25600

88000Cos C=62800

Divide both sides by 88000.

Cos C=62800/88000

=0.7136

C=44.47°

He should turn (180°-44.47°)=135.53°

There are 3 feet in 1 yard. 300 feet is equal to 100 yards.

2 pieces of rope at 16 yards = 32 yards

1 piece of rope at 12.5 yards = 12.5 yards

1 piece of rope at 123.25 feet, divided by 3 feet per yard = 41.1 yards (approx.)

100 - 32 - 12.5 - 41.1 = 14.4 yards

Now multiply by this number of yards by 3 to convert it to feet.

14.4 x 3 = 43.2 feet

The school club needs 43.2 feet of additional rope.
