    1) The rally driver traveled 210 km on a bearing of 145°T. To calculate how far east, draw a right triangle with the hypotenuse as 210 km and the angle as 145°. Use trigonometry to find the opposite leg as the distance east, which is 210*sin(145°) = 147 km east. 2) A ship sailed 35 km on a bearing of 318°T from port A to buoy B. To find the distances north and west, draw a right triangle with hypotenuse of 35 km and angle of 42° opposite the desired sides. Use trigonometry to calculate 26 km north as 35*cos(42°) and 23 km west as 35*sin(42

    9 A rally driver travels 210 km on a bearing N

    of 145°T. How far east of the starting


    position would the rally driver be now?
    145°

    A ship sails 35 km from a port A on a bearing of 318°T to a buoy B. Find how far the ship is north and
    west of A.
