Question #f38fb

Answer 1

The ship is at `40.31` miles from starting point.

Explanation:

The ship started from "A" due north, reached "B" at 20 miles from A , then proceeded due east and reaches at "C" at 35 miles from B . Applying pythagorus theorem we get `AC^2= AB^2+BC^2 or AC = sqrt (20^2+35^2) = 40.31 (2dp)`miles.[Ans]
