The bearing from A to B is S 27° E, and the bearing
from B to C is N 63° E. An automobile traveling at 62
mph needs 1 1/4 hours to go from A to B and 1 3/4
hours to go from B to C. Find the distance from A to C.
------------------
Find the lengths of AB and BC.
S 27 E is a heading of 153 degs
N 63 E is a heading of 063 degs
So it's a right triangle.
AC is the hypotenuse.
