Question

Trawler A is 40km west of Another Trawler B. Trawler A sets off at 20km On a Force of 60°. If Trawler B Can travel at 25km. What course should Trawler B Pass to Intercept Trawler A.​

Answer 1

Trawler B should set off on a course of 120°.

Trawler A is traveling at 20km/h on a bearing of 60°. This means that Trawler A is traveling north-east. Trawler B is traveling at 25km/h. In order to intercept Trawler A, Trawler B must travel on a bearing of 120°. This means that Trawler B must travel south-east.

The two trawlers will eventually meet at a point that is 40km east of Trawler A's starting position and 20km north of Trawler B's starting position.
