You are on a fishing boat that leaves its pier and heads east. After traveling for 27miles, there is a report warning of rough seas directly south. The captain turns the boat and follows a bearing of S30°W for 14.6 miles. a. At this time, how far are you from the boat's pier? b. What bearing could the boat have originally taken to arrive at this spot?
