Trig application question -- Help
From a position 110km northwest of a coast guard station, an oil tanker makes radio
contact with the coast guard. The tanker is traveling due south at 25km/h. The radar
unit at the coast guard station has a range of 90km. For what length of time can the
coast guard expect the tanker to be visible on the radar screen, to the nearest tenth
of an hour?
Answer(Suppose to be, anyway): 3.6h
Can someone please explain how to do this problem correctly? i worked it out before but i keep getting 4.5h as the answer. I cant think of any alternate ways of tackling it and I keep getting 4.5h, how do you solve this problem?
