Bearings and Distances How far apart are the planes? Two planes leave Heathrow airport at the same time. One plane flies 104km on a bearing 080º. The second plane flies 90km on a bearing 178º.

Bearings and Distances How far apart are the ships? A ship is 45km from Dundee on a bearing 098º. A second ship is 77km from Dundee on a bearing 141º.

Bearings and Distances How far apart are the oilrigs? The bearings and distances of two oilrigs from Aberdeen are [022º,106km] and [118º,96km]

Bearings and Distances How far is the supply ship from the liner? An ocean liner lies in position [144º,77km] from a port. Its supply ship lies in the position [207º,67km] from the port.

Bearings and Distances Find the total distance that the supply ship will travel to supply the three oilrigs. The distance and bearings of three oilrigs from a port are given by [055º,60km], [103º,89km] and [170º,90km]. Make a scale drawing to show the 3 oilrigs and the port. A supply ship leaves port and travels to each of the oilrigs in turn before heading back to port.

Bearings and Distances How far apart are the planes at the present time? In flight refueling is to take place between a Harrier Jet and a Supply Refueling Plane. The Harrier is [127°,118km] while the Supply Plane is at [272°,88km].

Bearings and Distances What is the total distance flown by the helicopter? Three submarines in the North Sea have distances and bearings from Dundee of [045°,100km], [086°,93km], [163°,98km]. A helicopter leaves Riverside Airport and flies to each of the submarines in turn before returning to Dundee (Riverside).
