simplest way is using vectors.
resultant vector
= (4cos38,4sin38) + (5cos67,5sin67)
= (3.152.., 2.4626..) + (1.9536..., 4.6025..)
= (5.1056.., 7.065...)
distance = √(5.1056..^2 + 7.065.^2)
= appr 8.717 correct to 3 decimals
bearing:
tanØ = 7.065../5.1056..
Ø = 54.146°
OR
Using basic geometry:
make a sketch, on mine I have a triangle with sides 4 and 5 with an angle of 151° between them
by the cosine law:
d^2 = 4^2 + 5^2 - 2(4)(5)cos151
= 8.717 , just like above
let the angle opposite the 5 km side be Ø
by the sine law:
sinØ/5 = sin 151/8.717
sinØ = .27808..
Ø = 16.146
bearing = Ø + 38°
= 16.146+38
= 54.146° , again, just as above

Cosine rule
A ship sail 4km on a bearing of 038 and then 5km on a bearing of 067 calculate the distance between the starting point and final destination and the bearing ship from the starting point.

The basic geometry is very difficult to understand
