Question 1196636: : A boat travels 200 km straight course at an angle 22^o due east of north.It then changes course by moving 80 km north before reaching its
destination. Calculate the resultant displacement of the airplane. if this the given problem,You have a triangle with two side lengths given as 200 km and 80 km
and the angle between them of 180° - 22° = 158°.Show hou you can use the cosine law formula to get the length of the third side of the triangle?

use the cosine law formula to get the length of the third side of the triangle

-----------------

If you are unfamiliar with the cosine law formula, learn it from the lessons
    - Proof_of_the_Law_of_Cosines_Revisited
    - Solve triangles using Law of Cosines

in this site.

In addition to the theory, clearly explained, you will find there many solved problems, that are your TEMPLATES.

Consider these lessons as your handbook, textbook, guidelines, tutorials and (free of charge) home teacher.
