Question 2:
From a point A at sea two boats set out. The first boat travels in a straight line in the direction a
measured clockwise from north to a point B. The second boat travels in a straight line in the direction
B° measured anticlockwise from south to a point C. Given AB is c km, AC is b km, and BC is a km.
Consider the statements and select the correct option below.
(a) a – b² – c = 2bc cos(a + 3);
(b) a – 2bc cos(a)cos(3) = c + b? – 2bc sin(a) sin(8)
1. Only (a) is true
3. Both (a) and (b) are true
2. Only (b) is true
4. Neither (a) nor (b) are true
Question 3:
Suppose that in the situation of Question 2 we know that distance from A to C is 5 km, the distance
