Question 635545
Two ocean liners leave from the same port in Puerto Rico at 10:00 a.m. One travels at a bearing of 
N 46°W at 12 miles per hour, and the other travels at a bearing of S 55°W at 14 miles per hour. 
Approximate the distance between them at noon the same day. Round answer to two decimal places.
=========================
N46W = 314 degs
S55W = 235 degs
No one in the world uses N46W or S55W except the authors of math books who never go outside.
------------------------
The angle between their paths is 79 degs
The distances are 24 & 28 miles
----------
Use the Cosine Law
{{{d^2 = 24^2 + 28^2 - 2*24*28*cos(79)}}}
