Question 1135181: The following problem involves directions in the form of bearing, which we defined in this section. Remember that bearing is always measured from a north-south line.
A boat travels on a course of bearing N 34° 10' W for 78.7 miles. How many miles north and how many miles west has the boat traveled? (Round each answer to the nearest tenth.)
north = mi
west= mi Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A boat travels on a course of bearing N 34° 10' W for 78.7 miles. How many miles north and how many miles west has the boat traveled?
============
I'll do it for 34 degs. You can do it for that additional 10'
------------
Distance N = 78.7*cos(34)
Distance W = 78.7*sin(34)
----
Calculate, round off as needed.
