Two planes take off at the same time from an airport. The first plane is flying at 260 miles per hour on a bearing of S 45.0° E. The second plane is flying in the direction S 45.0°W at 295 miles per hour. If there are no wind currents blowing, how far apart are they after 2 hours? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

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?

Considering that the consecutive dials on the electric meter rotate in opposite directions, what is the current reading in kilowatt hours of usage? The initial direction is clockwise.

Determine the values A in degrees and minutes that correspond to the following functions. secA=1.5753

Captain Lee leaves port steering the luxury yacht Valor at a bearing of 130° for 8 miles. The ship then heads due east for 3 miles. If Captain Lee needs to return immediately to port to send a misbehaving crewmember home, what bearing should he follow? Round your answer to two decimal places.

A jet leaves a runway with bearing N 35 degrees E from the control tower and flies 5 miles. Another jet leaves the same control tower with a bearing of S 55 degrees E for 7 miles. How far apart are the two jets from one another.

A pilot sets out from an airport and heads in the direction N 20° E, flying at 200 mph. After one hour, he makes a course correction and heads in the direction N 40° E. Half an hour later, engine trouble forces him to make anemergency landing. Find the distance between the airport and his final landing point.

A catamaran sails due north parallel to a straight shoreline at a constant speed of 8 mph. The captainrecords a bearing of N30°E to a lighthouse on shore. Then, 1.5 hr later, the captain records the bearing to thelighthouse as S42°E. To the nearest tenth of a mile, what is the distance from the catamaran to the lighthouse atthe time the second bearing is recorded?

Suppose I am in a boat and I travel at the bearingN80°E at 33 knots for 5 hours. At the end of the 5-hourtrip, how far north has the boat travelled and how fareast has the boat travelled?
