Algebra.Com's Answer #724901 by Alan3354(69443)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! A ship sails for 20 km on q course S 20° W and then 25 km on a course S 25° W. \n" ); document.write( " ----------- \n" ); document.write( " 2 sides and the included angle --> Cosine Law to find the 3rd side. \n" ); document.write( " =============== \n" ); document.write( " Calculate \n" ); document.write( " a) How far south the ship is from its original point \n" ); document.write( " Cosine Law \n" ); document.write( " -------- \n" ); document.write( " and how far west the ship is from its original point \n" ); document.write( " It's a right triangle after finding the 3rd side. \n" ); document.write( " |
