a man walks 50m on a bearing 25 degree and then 200m due east.how far is she from her starting point

1 answer

You do not walk on a bearing but on a heading. Math texts are not written by navigators. Bearing is the direction from you to a object like a lighthouse.

North distance = 50 cos 25
= 45.3
East distance = 50 sin 25 + 200
= 221

distance = sqrt(45.3^3+221^2)
