Answer:

Ship B

Explanation:

In each triangle, the longest side is opposite the largest angle, and the shortest side is opposite the smallest angle.

Calculate a measure of an angle A.

We know: The sum of the angle measures in a triangle is 180°.

Therefore:

m∠A = 180° - (46° + 62°) = 180° - 108° = 72°

m∠B = 62°

LB is opposite ∠A, LA is opposite ∠B.

m∠A > m∠B → LB > LA.

Therefore Ship B is further away.
