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. Town L is 23 miles due south of town N. Town B is due east of town L and S 69° E from town N. How far is town L from town B? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

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?
Solve the following exercises based on Principles 18 through 21, although an exercise may require the application of two or more of any of the principles. Where necessary, round linear answers in inches to 3 decimal places and millimeters to 2 decimal places. Round angular answers in decimal degrees to 2 decimal places and degrees and minutes to the nearest minute. Points A, B, C, D, and E are tangent points. a. If AB=46.00 and DE=66.00 , find 1. b. If AB=53.00 and DE=70.00 , find 1.
A point that moves on a coordinate line is in simple when its distance d from the origin at time t is given by either d=asintord=acost.
Solve the following applied right triangle problems. Compute linear values to 3 decimal places, customary unit angles to the nearer minute, and metric angles to the nearer hundredth degree. 24. Determine dimension x. All dimension are in millimeters. .
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
