Where Am I Going Wrong With This Problem? Any Input Would Be Great?
A ship travels 59km on a bearing of 39 degrees, and then travels on a bearing of 129 degrees for 151km. Find the distance from the starting point to the end of the trip, to the nearest kilometer.
Here is how I worked out the problem, but when I plug everything into the calculator it gives me a figure that is not an option. After reviewing what I did, could someone please tell me if I'm missing something.
X coordinate of the final point: 59cos(39degrees) + 151 cos (129degrees)= -49.2
Y coordinate of the final point: 59 sin (39 degrees) + 151 sin (129degrees)= 154.5
d=square root (-49.2)^2+ (154.5)^2= 162.14 then I squared that answer and came up with 12.73 but this is not one of the answer choices.
Choices are A.) 37 km B.) 46km C.)210km D.)162km
I guess I'm confused if I should continue to square root or just leave it as 162. Thanks a bunch!
