Rescue A helicopter makes a forced landing at sea. The last radio signal received at station C gives the bearing of the helicopter from C as N 57.5 E at an altitude of 426 feet. An observer at C sights the helicopter and gives DCB as 12.3, how far will a rescue boat at A have to travel to reach any survivors at B (Figure 20)? Figure 20
A boat is traveling due east parallel to the shoreline at a speed of 10 miles per hour. At a given time, the bearing to a lighthouse is S70E, and 15 minutes later the bearing is S63E (see figure). The lighthouse is located at the shoreline. What is the distance from the boat to the shoreline?

Distance and Bearing Problems 27 through 32 involve directions in the form of bearing, which we defined in this section. Remember that bearing is always measured from a north-south line. A man wandering in the desert walks 2.3 miles in the direction S 310 W. He then turns 90 and walks 3.5 miles in the direction N 59 W. At that time, how far is he from his starting point, and what is his bearing from his starting point?
Refer to the cutting speed table under the heading "Using Data from a Cutting Speed Table" earlier in this unit. Use thetable values and the simplified revolutions per minute formula, N=4CD. Compute the revolutions minute to the nearer revolution for each problem in the following table.
Environmental Science The bearing from the Pine Knob fire tower to the Colt Station fire tower is N 65 E, and the two towers are 30 kilometers apart. A fire spotted by rangers in each tower has a bearing of N 80 E from Pine Knob and S 70 E from Colt Station (see figure). Find the distance of the fire from each tower.
