Two ships left a port at the same time. One ship traveled at a speed of 11 miles per hour at a heading of 320°. The other ship traveled at a speed of 25 miles per hour at a heading of 197°. Find the distance between the two ships after 10 hours of travel. (Round your answer to the nearest mile.)
----------------
Given 2 sides and the angle between ---> Cosine Law
Side a = 11*10 = 110 miles
Side b = 25*10 = 250 miles
----
The angle between = 320 - 197 = 123 degs
C^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab*cos(123)
You do the calculation.
