The arrangement forms an isosceles triangle with equal legs of 8 mi. The angle between the legs is,
123-63 = 60°. Therefore, the other two angles ares:
Angles = (180-60)/2 = 120/2 = 60°
It can therefore be noted that all angles are equal and thus the resulting triangle is actual an equilateral triangle and thus all the sides are equal.
It can be concluded that the ships are 8 miles apart.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I used Cramer's Rule to find y, since we can isolate and solve for individual variables using Cramer's Rule. Do that by finding the determinant of the matrix, |A|. The matrix A looks like this:
2 -2 1
-1 3 2
1 -4 -3
and we find the determinant of a 3x3 by expanding it. Do that by picking up the first 2 columns and throw them on at the end, like this:
2 -2 1 2 -2
-1 3 2 -1 3
1 -4 -3 1 -4
and find the determinant by multiplying along the 3 major axes and subtract from that the product of the 3 minor axes:
[(2*3*-3)+(-2*2*1)+(1*-1*-4)] - [(1*3*1)+(-4*2*2)+(-3*-1*-2)] which simplifies to
-18 - (-19) = 1
So the determinant of the matrix A is |A| = 1.
Now to find the determinant of Ay, we replace the y column with the solutions and so the same thing by expansion and then multiplying and subtracting:
2 -7 1 2 -7
-1 0 2 -1 0
1 1 -3 1 1
and find the determinant of y:
[(2*0*-3)+(-7*2*1)+(1*-1*1)] - [(1*0*1)+(1*2*2)+(-3*-1*-7)] which simplifies to
-15 - (-17) = 2
So the detminant of y is |Ay| = 2
We can solve for the variable now by dividing Ay by A:
2 / 1 = 2
So the solution for y = 2
