here's my problem!
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. Found 2 solutions by Alan3354, rfadrogane:Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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.
----------------
2 sides of a triangle are given, 58 and 133 km.
The change in heading from 020º to 110º is 90º, so it's a right triangle.
Use Pythagoras:
s = 124 km
