A ship travels 58 km on a bearing of 20 degrees, and then travels on a bearing of 110 degrees for 133 km. Find the distance from the starting point to the end of the trip, to the nearest kilometer.
I set it up to where the turn from 20 to 110 was a 90 degree angle, and i used sin of 20 equals 133/x to find the distance. i got 399 km, but my teacher told me it was wrong...
can anyone please help me?
thank you!
