To find the speed of ship B, we need to use trigonometry based on the given bearings and distances.
Step 1: Sketch the situation and determine the angles in the triangle formed by the port (P) and the positions of ships A and B after one hour (A' and B').
Let P be the port.
After 1 hour:
- Ship A is at A'. Distance .
- Ship B is at B'. Distance . Let km.
The bearings are measured clockwise from the North line.
- Bearing of A from P is .
- Bearing of B from P is .
The angle (the angle at the port P) is the difference between these two bearings:
Step 2: Determine the angle (the angle at A').
Draw a North line at P and a parallel North line at A'.
- The bearing of A' from P is .
- The back bearing of P from A' is . This is the angle from the North line at A', clockwise to the line A'P.
- The bearing of B' from A' is given as . This is the angle from the North line at A', clockwise to the line A'B'.
The angle is the difference between the bearing of P from A' and the bearing of B' from A':
