Answer:
27 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The law of cosines can be used to find the distance between the boats. In 1 hour, one has traveled 28 miles, and the other has traveled 26 miles. The angle between their directions of travel is ...
180° -50° -70° = 60°
Then the distance c can be found from ...
c^2 = a^2 +b^2 -2ab·cos(C)
c^2 = 28^2 +26^2 -2·28·26·cos(60°) = 732
c = √732 ≈ 27.055
The boats are 27 miles apart after 1 hour.
