Two ship leaves a port at the same time. The first ship sails on a course of 32° at 15 knots while the second ship sails on a course of 122° at 20 knots. Find after 3 hours; (a.) the distance between the ships, (b.) the bearing from the first ship to the second, and (c.) the bearing from the second ship to the first.
----------
It's a right triangle.
The angle at the port is 90 degs.
----
Find the 2 distances, then do the rest.
