a)

Step 1: Determine the coordinates of town T from John's initial position.
Let John's initial position be the origin O(0,0)O(0,0). John travels 40 km on a bearing of 210∘210^\circ.
To convert a bearing to a standard angle θ\theta (measured counter-clockwise from the positive x-axis), we use θ=90∘−bearing\theta = 90^\circ - \text{bearing}.
For a bearing of 210∘210^\circ:
θT=90∘−210∘=−120∘\theta_T = 90^\circ - 210^\circ = -120^\circ.
The coordinates of T are (xT,yT)(x_T, y_T):
