Question

Question: Point B is 25 km due east of point A. Starting from point A, a camel walks 20 km in

Answer 1

Resultant angle; θ = 25.59°  

This question is dealing with bearings and distance.

We are told that from point A, the camel walks 20 km at 15° in the south of east direction.

Thus, d_s,e = 20 km

Resolving along the horizontal east direction gives; d_e = 20 cos 15

d_e = 19.32 km

Also, resolving along the vertical south direction gives; d_s = 20 sin 15

d_s = 5.18 km

Net vertical distance; d_vert = 8km - 5.18km = 2.72 km

Net horizontal distance; d_hor = 25km - 19.32 km = 5.68 km

Now, the resultant angle is given by;

tan θ = d_vert/d_hor

tan θ = 2.72/5.68

tan θ = 0.4789

θ = tan^(-1) 0.4789

θ = 25.59°
