![]() Okay, so we're going to solve for X and y. Or I guess 61 degrees since 61 29 have to add to 90. We could label exe So there we have a right triangle, and inside the triangle we have an angle of 51. Six PM So we're going to go ahead and extend that west line and bring up a perpendicular to it and the distance that the ship has traveled south, we could label why and the distance that it has traveled west. All right, so for party, what we want to know is how for how far South The ship is a port and how far west the ship is from port at this time. Okay, we also know that because it's traveling for six hours at 20 nautical MPH, it travels 120 nautical miles, so we can label that. So that would be something like this where the angle right here is 29 degrees, obviously not drawn to scale. And what we know is that the angle that it makes is 29 degrees west of south. So let's say that this point right here is the port and let's put a little compass in place for north, south, east west. All right, so we're going to draw a sketch of the situation, and some of the information we're given is that the ship is traveling from noon to six PM so that would be six hours of travel, and it's going at 20 knots, which means 20 nautical MPH on a bearing of south 29 degrees west. ![]()
