Answer:
The distance of the boat from B is approximately 9.4 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The location of light house B from A = 9 miles west
The distance of the boat from A = 4 miles
The bearing of the boat from A = NE65
We have;
4/(sin25) = 9/sin(B)
sin B = 9*sin(25)/4
B ≈ 71.969
a² = 4² + 9² - 2 × 4 × 9 × cos(180 - 25 - 71.969) ≈ 88.264
The distance of the boat from B, a ≈ √88.264 ≈ 9.4
