Answer:
2nd friend heading west
Step-by-step explanation:
This is actually pretty easy to explain.
You and a friend are near a tree and decide to walk away from it. At the beggining you walked 15 yards and your friend too, and then, there's the turn of event. You walked 8 yards toward north east, and your friend 8 yards towards south west.
The key to know which is further from the tree is the angle of turning of both. We need to calculate the component in x from both persons, and then, add it to the previous 15 yards. This way we will know who is further.
Let's begin with the 1°, the one who's heading east:
X = 15 + 8 cos45° = 20.66 yards
Now the friend heading west:
X = 15 + 8 cos40° = 21.13 yards
With these results we can conclude that the 2nd friend is further from the tree.
Hope this helps
