Example Forest Ranger Rich is at an observation point A along a straight road. He observes a fire in the direction 32o east of north. Forest Ranger Sara is at a second observation point B 10 miles due east of Rich. Sara sights the same fire 48o west of north. Find the distance from each ranger to the fire and find the shortest distance from the fire to the road.
Example In major league baseball, the four bases form a square whose sides are 90 feet. The front edge of the pitching rubber on which the pitcher stands, is 60.5 feet from home plate. a.) Find the distance from the front edge of the pitching rubber to 1st base. b.) Find the measure of the angle formed by 1st base, the pitching rubber and home plate.
Example The course for a boat race starts at a point and proceeds in the direction S52oW to a point B, and in the direction S40oE to point C, and finally back to point A. The point C lies 8 km directly south of point A. What is the length of the total course?
