Question

We are on my trigonometry unit and I don’t understand this question. I need work shown if at all possible!

Answer 1

Explanation:

`(a)/(sinA)` =
`(b)/(sinB)` =
`(c)/(sinC)`

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

`(x)/(sin41)` =
`(4.5)/(sin107)`

x =
`(4.5sin41)/(sin107)` ≈ 3.1 mi

`(y)/(sin32)` =
`(4.5)/(sin107)`

y =
`(4.5sin32)/(sin107)` ≈ 2.5 mi

Ship A is 3.1 miles from the island.

Ship B is 2.5 miles from the island.
