4. Sketch a labelled diagram for each of the following situations and SOLVE.
a) A hiker travels 3 km due east and then hikes 2 km on a bearing of 110°. How far is the
hiker is from her starting point?

d) Two forest fire towers, A & B, are 20.3 km apart. From tower A, the compass bearing to B
is 110°. The fire is 15 km from tower A at a heading of 50°. What is the compass heading
from tower B to the fire?

e) An airport radar operator locates 2 airplanes that are flying toward the airport. The first
plane, P, is 120 km from the airport, in a N70°E direction. The other plane, Q, is 180 km
away, in a S40°W direction. Calculate the distance between the two planes.
