they walk on a HEADING, not a bearing.
distance = speed * time
So draw the diagram, and then use the law of cosines to find the distance.
For the bearing, use the law of sines to then find the angle at nomad #1.
If it is θ, then the bearing is 180+39+θ
Two nomads leave camp at the same time.One walks at 5km\h on a bearing 039°.The other walks at 7.5km\h on a bearing 265°.After two hours how far apart are they and what is the bearing of the second from the first?
