Can you send me answer for the first question please?

draw a diagram. You can easily see that if the distance is x km, then
x cos35° = 100
x cos35° = 100

To solve the problem, we can draw a diagram:
```

Ship
```
From the diagram, we can see that the ship has formed a right triangle with the vertical side measuring 100 km.
We can use trigonometry to find the length of the hypotenuse, which represents the distance traveled by the ship.
Using the cosine function, we have:
cos(215°) = adjacent / hypotenuse
cos(215°) = 100 / hypotenuse
hypotenuse = 100 / cos(215°)
hypotenuse ≈ 124 km
Therefore, the ship sails approximately 124 km to the nearest km.
