using the base as the origin
1st ... 38 sin(23º) N , 38 cos(23º) W
2nd ... 34 cos(31º) N , 34 sin(31º) E
find the N/S and E/W distances , then use 1st as the origin
A gps tracker at their base camp shows the location of the first team as 38 km away, 23° north of west, and the second team as 34 km away, 31° east of north. When the first team uses its gps to check the position of the second team, what does it give for the second team's (a) distance from them and (b) direction measured from due east?
