A ship travels 58 km on a bearing of 20 degrees, and then travels on a bearing of 110 degrees for 133 km. Find the distance from the starting point to the end of the trip, to the nearest kilometer.
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "2 sides of a triangle are given, 58 and 133 km.
\n" ); document.write( "The change in heading from 020º to 110º is 90º, so it's a right triangle.
\n" ); document.write( "Use Pythagoras:
\n" ); document.write( "\"s+=+sqrt%2858%5E2+%2B+110%5E2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "s = 124 km
\n" ); document.write( "
