Two ships leave the docks D, at the same time Princess Pearl P, sails on a bearing of 160 degrees at a speed of 18 km/hour and a Regal rose R, sales on a bearing of 105 degrees.
\n" ); document.write( " After two hours the angle DRP is 80 degree.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Draw at triangle DPR,
\n" ); document.write( "side DP: 2*18 = 36 km
\n" ); document.write( "Angle D: 160-105 = 55 degrees
\n" ); document.write( "Angle R: Given as 80 degrees
\n" ); document.write( "Angle P: 180-55-80 = 45 degrees
\n" ); document.write( "Find
\n" ); document.write( "a-The distance between the ships at this time
\n" ); document.write( "Let d = distance between the ship R to P
\n" ); document.write( "Use the law of sines
\n" ); document.write( "\"d%2Fsin%2855%29\" = \"36%2Fsin%2880%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "find the sines and cross multiply
\n" ); document.write( ".985d = .819*36
\n" ); document.write( "d = 29.49/.985
\n" ); document.write( "d = 29.9 km apart
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "b- The speed of the Regal Rose
\n" ); document.write( "let p = the distance traveled by the Regal Rose
\n" ); document.write( "\"p%2Fsin%2845%29\" = \"36%2Fsin%2880%29\"
\n" ); document.write( ".985p = .707*36
\n" ); document.write( "p = 25.452 km
\n" ); document.write( "Find the speed
\n" ); document.write( "25.452/2 = 12.7 km/hr
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
