A ship travels 200 km west from port and then 240 km due south before it is disabled. Illustrate this in a vector diagram. Use trigonometry to find the course that a rescue ship must take from port in order to reach the disabled ship.

Draw an x-y graph with the port at the origin (x=0, y=0) Let up (+y) be north and right (+x) be east. After going west the ship is at (-200, 0), which means x=-200, y=0. Draw the line that it travelled as an arrow from the origin to that point. Then draw another arrow for the next part of its journey, from (-200,0) to (-200,-240)..The course that a rescue ship must take is from (0,0) to (-200,-240)

step-by-step explanation:

describing distributions is one of the key skills you’ll need to earn a high score on the ap statistics exam. if you need proof of this, just flip through some past exam questions, which can be found at the collegeboard website. you’ll notice that the first free response question is almost always a question requiring you to look at a graph and describe it.
