  1. Section 9.5Navigation & Surveying Pre-Calculus

  2. Learning Targets • Solve a Navigation and Surveying application problem by using law of sines, law of cosines, or the area of a triangle. • Identify what compass bearing and compass reading means • Construct a picture from the word problem • Identify which method to use • Solve

  3. Navigation: Compass BEARING • The course of a ship or plane is the angle measured clockwise starting at the north direction.

  4. Example 1Practice Constructing Pictures • 1. Draw the picture of a plane on a course of 190° • 2. Draw the picture of a boat on a course of 60° • 3. Draw the picture of a boat that started on a course of 330° then after some time changed to a course of 200°

  5. Surveying: Compass READING • In surveying, a compass reading is given an acute angle from the north-south line to the east or west.

  6. Example 2Practice Constructing Pictures • 1. Draw the picture. Start at a granite post and proceed 5ft west. Then travel along a bearing of S45°E for 7ft. • 2. Draw the picture. Start at a tree and proceed along a bearing of N60°E for 4ft, then along a bearing of S40°E for 7ft, and finally along a bearing of S30°W for 2 ft. Then go back to the tree in a straight line.

  7. Example 3: Word Problem (pg 359) • A ship proceeds on a course of 300° for 2 hours at a speed of 15 knots (1 knot = 1 nautical mile per hour). Then, it changes course to 230°, continuing at 15 knots for 3 more hours. At that time, how far is the ship from its starting point? 62 Nautical Miles

  8. Example 4: Word Problem (pg 360) • From a granite post, proceed 195ft east along, then along a bearing of S32°E for 260ft, then along a bearing of S68°W for 385ft and finally along a line back to the granite post. Find the area of the plot of land 84,800 ft2

  9. Example 5: Word Problem • A plane proceeds on a course of 310o for 2 hours at 150 mph.  It then changes direction to 200o continuing for 3 more hours at 160 mph.  At this time, how far is the plane from its starting point? 471 Miles

  10. Example 6: • A post is driven in a certain spot.  Proceed due east for 300 ft, then proceed S 40o E for another 150 feet.  Turn direction again S 60o W for 400 feet and then back to the post in a straight line.  Find the area. 76853 sq ft.
