PRACTICAL WORK

1. A ship S is on a bearing of 120° from port A and 042° from port B. The distance
between ports A and B is 15.2 miles. Find the distance between the ship and each
port.

2. A ship is sailing due north. The captain sees a lighthouse 12 km away on a bearing of
036°. Later, the captain observes that the bearing of the lighthouse is 125°. How far
did the ship travel between these two observations?

3. Two people at points A and B observe a sailboat at

position C. The distance between points A and B on the
shoreline is 20 m. The first observer measures A = 65°
and the second observer measures 5=42°. Find the
distance from C to the shoreline (AB)

4. A surveyor has to determine the distance between points A and B that lie on opposite
banks of a river. Another point C is 450 m from A, on the same side of the river, such
that BAC = 45° and ACB = 55°. Find the distance from A to B to the nearest metre.

5. Find the area of each of the following triangles:
