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 22 miles in the direction N 46° E. The captain then turns the boat 90° and travels another 17 miles in the direction S 44° E. 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 At that time, how far is the 1 28 mi bearing X °E 17 mi 22 mi. 44 46°

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?
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

Albert lives in New Orleans. At noon on a summer day, the angle of elevation of the sun is 84. The window in Alberts room is 4.0 feet high and 6.5 feet wide. (Sec Figure 24.) a. Calculate the area of the floor surface in Alberts room that is illuminated by the sun when the angle of elevation of the sun is 84. b. One winter day the angle of elevation of the sun outside Alberts window is 37. Will the illuminated area of the floor in Alberts room be greater on the summer day, or on the winter day? Figure 24

Bearing and Distance A person is riding in a hot air balloon. For the first hour the wind current is a constant 9.50 miles per hour in the direction N 37.5 E. Then the wind current changes to 8.00 miles per hour and heads the balloon in the direction S 52.5 E. If this continues for another 1.5 hours, how far is the balloon from its starting point? What is the bearing of the balloon from its starting point (Figure 20)? Figure 20
Leaning Windmill After a wind storm, a farmer notices that his 32-foot windmill may be leaning, but he is not sure. From a point on the ground 31 feet from the base of the windmill, he finds that the angle of elevation to the top of the windmill is 48. Is the windmill leaning? If so, what is the acute angle the windmill makes with the ground?
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.
