Use the Law of Cosines in solving the following word problems. Basic diagrams are provided as guide.
Round off your answers to the nearest tenth.
A luxurious yacht leaves the Port of Manila, cruises 10 miles, then turns 20°
clockwise. The yacht then cruises another 8 miles and stops at the middle of
Manila Bay. There is a party going on in the yacht. A notorious social climber
desperately wants to attend the party. Unfortunately, caught in Manila traffic,
she arrives at the port late and sees that the yacht is already out in the sea.
She immediately looks for transport to bring her to the yacht but the only craft
available for hire is a non-motorized banca, and she wastes no time hiring it.
Find the distance the banca of the social climber has to navigate from the port
1.
to the yacht.
