B. The distance between boats 1 and 2 is about 16.5 miles.
Three boats in the ocean are located near a buoy as represented by the diagram below. The distance between boats 2 and 3 is known to be 65 miles.
Boat 1 is on the top and boat 2 is on the bottom right and boat 3 is on the bottom left. The boat 1, boat 2, and boat 3 are joined to form a triangle. A dotted line of length 30 miles from boat 1 meets the base of the triangle more than half way between boat 2 and boat 3 at Buoy. The distance between boat 2 and buoy is 25 miles.
