The boundaries of the Bermuda Triangle are not universally agreed upon, but one version places one corner of the triangle on the southern US coast (point A in Figure 6), another corner in the Bermuda Islands (point B), and the third corner in the Greater Antilles-Cuba, Jamaica, Puerto Rico and Hispaniola (point C). Assume that the distance between A and B is 1000 km, and the angle at point A is 55°. Traveling at 25 km/hr, a cruise ship takes 26 hours to cross from point A to point C. If the ship survives this portion of the trip, what is the distance it must travel from point C to point B? в A Figure 6: The Bermuda Triangle
