A bearing of 34° corresponds to corresponding angle of θ=90-34=56°
The (x,y) values for the position of the ship after completing its first heading are:
x=(10.4cos 56)
y=(10.4sin56)
The trigonometric angle for θ=90-90=0
The (x,y) values for the postion of the ship after completing the second bearing is:
x=(10.4 cos56)+(4.6cos0)≈10.4 mi
y=(10.4sin56)+(4.6sin0)≈8.6mi
the distance from the port will therefore be:
d=√(10.4²+8.6²)≈13.5 miles
It trigonometric angles is:
θ=arctan(y/x)
θ=arctan(8.6/10.4)
θ≈39.6°
Thus the bearing angle is:
90-39.6=50.4°
45
50
You have to add 25 for each one so you get the answer
Answer:
613 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
1)
cos(50 degrees)=324/x
x*cos(50 degrees)=324
x=324/cos(50 degrees)
x=around 504.1
2)
cos(35 degrees)=324/x
x*cos(35 degrees)=324
x=324/cos(35 degrees)
x=around 395.5
now lets find the distance in between the two people:
Distance from Shively to the tower
tan(50 degrees)=x/324
x=324*tan(50 degrees)
x= around 386.1
Distance from Sparzak to the tower
tan(35 degrees)=x/324
x=324*tan(35 degrees)
x=around 226.9
total distance=386.1+226.9=613 meters
