Find the distance between north and the ship.
Answer to Problem 40RE
The distance between north and the ship
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Since the distance between the two stations A and B is 200 miles, therefore, the foci are
And, center
Therefore,
Since the distance between the two stations A and B is 200 miles, therefore, the foci are
And, center
Therefore,
Since the ship is 60 miles west of station A, therefore, the ship will be at
Suppose that the distance of ship from station A is
And the distance from station
Therefore,
Therefore,
Therefore, the equation of the hyperbola is,
Now the ship is at
Therefore,
