A ship, Albatross, leaves a port on a bearing of N520E traveling at a speed of 42 km/h. A second ship, Bountiful, leaves the same port at the same time on a bearing of N240W traveling at a speed of 29 km/h. After 3 hours, how far apart are the two ships?
Given
Both ships starts at the same time from port
to find: distance between both ships A and B after 3 hours.
Ship A moves in 3 hours
Ship B moves in 3 hours
Angle between A and B is <AOB
By the law of cosine
AB=134.69KM
Distance between ship A and B after 3 hours is 134.69km
