Aboat travels 26 miles east from a lighthouse then changes direction traveling 15(deg) south of west for 13 miles. how far is the ship from the lighthouse? round to the nearest hundredth

The ship is 25.54 miles far from the light house.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that A boat travels 26 miles East from a lighthouse then changes direction traveling 15° South of West for 13 miles that is :

BC=c, BA=26 miles and CA=13miles

Then, applying the cosine formula in ΔABC, we get

⇒

⇒

⇒

⇒

Therefore, the ship is 25.54 miles far from the light house.

step-by-step explanation:

first you will have to convert 3/4 into a decimal

which is .75

then you will have to divide 1.5 by .75

which is 2

no you have to divide
