A true bearing is an angle measured clockwise from the True North around to the required direction.
First, find the value of θθ below.
Notice that it is part of the given bearing, which also consists of 33 quadrants from the North line moving clockwise.
To find the value of θθ, simply subtract the measure of the angles from the three quadrants, 270°270°, from the given bearing.
| θθ |

To solve for xwxw, we can use the known values of the hypotenuse and θ=49°θ=49°.
Use coscos to find the value of xwxw.

Using your calculator, 68cos49°=44.668cos49°=44.6.
Therefore, the speedboat is 44.6 km44.6 km to the West.

A true bearing is an angle measured clockwise from the True North around to the required direction.
First, find the value of θθ below.
Notice that it is part of the given bearing, which also consists of a right angle from the North line moving to the East line.
To find the value of θθ, simply subtract the value of a right angle, 90°90°, from the given bearing.

A true bearing is an angle measured clockwise from the True North around to the required direction.
First, find the value of angle QOPQOP.
Notice that adding angle QOPQOP to the given bearing (200°)(200°) will cover 33 quadrants, which is equal to 270°270°
To find the value of angle QOPQOP, simply subtract the value of the bearing from 270°270°.

To solve for xx, we can use the known values of the line adjacent to angle QOPQOP.
Use coscos to find the value of xx.
