Using a calculator, solve the following problems. Round your answers to the nearest tenth. A boat leaves the entrance of a harbor and travels 93 miles on a bearing of N 43° E. How many miles north and how many miles east from the harbor has the boat traveled? a 93 miles north and 93 miles east b 63.4 miles north and 68 miles east c 68 miles north and 63.4 miles east d 99.7 miles north and 86.7 miles east

Using a calculator, solve the following problems. Round your answers to the nearest tenth. A ship is 20 miles west and 32 miles south of a harbor. What bearing should the captain set to sail directly to harbor? N 122.0° E N 58.0° E N 32.0° E N 103.0° E

Solve each problem. When appropriate, round answers to the nearest tenth. See Example 3. Two ships leave port at the same time, one heading due south and the other heading due east. Several hours later, they are 170 mi apart. If the ship traveling south traveled 70 mi farther than the other ship, how many miles did they each travel? CAN'T COPY THE FIGURE
