Good Job!!!..
We use cosine law to solve for the distance d between the two
airplanes. Thus,
= (32)+(76)2 32 76 cos 49
= 1024 + 5776 2 2432 0.6561
= 3608.73
= 3608.93
= 60.07

Solution:
i) After 1 hour, the distance traveled by ship A is 24 nautical miles and the distance
traveled by the ship B is 7 nautical miles. From the figure, the 2 ships and the portform a right triangle. Thus, we can use the pythagorean theorem to solve for the
distance between the 2 ships.
= +
= (24)+ (7) = 576 + 49 = 625
= 625 = 25 n.m.
