The following problem involves directions in the form of bearing, which we defined in this section. Remember that bearing is always measured from a north-south line. A boat leaves the harbor entrance and travels 29 miles in the directionN 47° E. The captain then turns the boat 90° and travels another 18 miles in the directionS 43° E. At that time, how far is the boat from the harbor entrance, and what is the bearing of the boat from the harbor entrance (see the figure below)? (Round your answers to the nearest whole number.) distance X mi bearing X °E 18 mi 29 mi- 43 47

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?
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.
