Given:
Speed of sheep A = 40 km/h
Bearing = 195 degrees
Sheep of speed B = 24 km/h
Bearing = 285 degrees
Let's find the distance between the two ships.
The figure below represents this situation:
Let's find the distance between the two ships.
We can see the figure forms a right triangle.
TO find the distance between the two ships apply Pythagorean Theorem:
[tex]c=\sqrt[]{a^2+b^2}[/tex]
Where:
a = 24 km/h
b = 40 km/h
Thus, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} c=\sqrt[]{24^2+40^2} \\ \\ c=\sqrt[]{576+1600} \\ \\ c=46.65^{}km \end{gathered}[/tex]
The distance is 46.65 km
ANSWER:
46.65 km
