Two ships leave a port at the same time. The first ship sails on a course of 35°at 15 knots while the second ship sails on a course of 125°at 20 knots. After 2 hours find the: (a) distance between the two ships; (b) bearing of the first ship from the second ship; and (c) bearing of the second ship from the first ship.

Let ships start from A. After 2 hours first ship will be in С and second ship will be in B.
AC=15⋅2=30 (nautical miles), AB=20⋅2=40 (n. m.).
△ABC:∠BAC=125∘−35∘=90∘.
a)
The distance between them is BC=AB2+AC2=302+402=50 (n. m.).
