Problema Solution
Train 1 is traveling due south and is 150 miles from the station. Train 2 travels from the station 47 degrees north of east. The distance between the two trains is 343 miles. What is the angle in degrees that train 2 makes from its location to looking at train 1?
Answer provided by our tutors
Train 1 is traveling directly South and Train 2 is traveling 47 degrees north of east, which is then 90-47 degrees east of north.
90-47
43
Train 2 is then 43 degrees at an angle to Train 1 at that moment. Assuming that both trains are traveling to the same point and maintain the same relative position, then they both maintain an angle of 43 degrees.
