A ship leaves port with a bearing of $\mathrm{S} 40^{\circ} \mathrm{W}$ . After traveling 7 miles, the ship turns $90^{\circ}$ and travels on a bearing of $\mathrm{N} 50^{\circ} \mathrm{W}$ for 11 miles. At that time, what is the bearing of the ship from port?
A ship heads out to sea, from port, on a bearing of 075° for 6 Km and then on a bearing of 120° for 7 Km. Using a scale of 1 cm : 1 Km, construct a scale drawing of this journey. Use this scale drawing to find i). the bearing on which the ship has to head to return to port. ii). the actual distance the ship is from port.
