Example 2; Using the Law of Sines (SSA)
a) A ship has been at sea longer than expected and has only enough fuel to safely sail another 42 miles. Port City Lighthouse and Cove Town Lighthouse are located 40 miles apart along the coast. At sea, the captain cannot determine distances by observation. The triangle formed by lighthouses and the ship is shown. Can the ship sail safely to either lighthouse? P S C πππ πΊ π = πππ π· π ππΒ° πππ ππ ππ = πππ ππ π ππ ππ πβπππ ππ =ππβπππ ππ ππΒ° ππΒ° π= ππβπππ ππ πππ ππ πΊ=πππβ ππ+ππ π=ππ.π ππ. πΊ=ππΒ° Canβt go to Cove Town
