Example19.9: (a) Two ships A and B start sailing from port P at the same time. Ship A sailing at 35km/h is on a bearing of 335° and ship B sailing at 22km/h is on a bearing of 065°. Find after three hours (i) the distance between the two ships (ii) the bearing of A from B. (b) After covering a distance of 120km from the port, ship A reaching a port D then turns and sail parallel to the track of ship B. How Jong will it take shin A to reach a noint E due north of P?

You are at the top of a mountain and in the distance, you can see a crashed alien ship. You want to go investigate but want to know the distance from the top of the mountain to the alien ship! You’re able to measure that the angle between your horizontal line of sight and the alien ship is 41◦. You know that the mountain you’re on top of has a height of 275m. Find the length of the line of sight from the alien ship to you if you shine a line diagonally to the alien ship.

9. A surveyor is mapping a large marsh in a state park. He walks and measures a straight line south from a cliff for 0.75 mile to a large tree. He walks east, but he has to make a detour around the marsh. He gets around the marsh to a spot where he is perpendicular to the large tree and the trail he originally walked south on. He looks northwest and measures a 40° angle (ZA) northwest to the cliff from his line of sight to the large tree. He measures the distance back to the starting point at the cliff as 1.17 miles. What is the straight-line distance from the large tree east to ZA? What is the tangent of ZB , the angle at the cliff? Clff 0.75 mile 1.17 mile 40 Tree
