4. Two geological field teams are working in a remote area. A global positioning system (GPS) tracker at their base camp shows the location of the first team as 38 km away, 19 degrees north ofwest, and the second team as 29 km away,35 degrees east of north. When the first team uses its GPS to check the position of the second team, what does the GPS give for the second team’s (a) distance from them and (b) direction, measured from due east?
An explorer is caught in a whiteout (in which the snowfall is so thick that the ground cannot be distinguished from the sky) while returning to base camp.
