Question

At 12 noon a ship going due east at 12 knots crosses 10 nautical miles ahead of a second ship going due north at 16 knots

Answer 1

6t-10is the awsner. If s is the number of nautical miles separating the ships, express s in terms of t(the number of hours after 12 noon). I formed the equation s squared to the second power equals (12t) squard to the second power + (10 - 16) squared to the second power
