How far apart are they?
South heading is 180 degrees
180 - 113 = 67 degrees apart
sides of triangle = 11 and 29 with 67 deg between
law of cosines
x^2 = 11^2 + 29^2 - 2*11*29cos 67
180 - 113 = 67 degrees apart
sides of triangle = 11 and 29 with 67 deg between
law of cosines
x^2 = 11^2 + 29^2 - 2*11*29cos 67
It's not quite clear
