is that the whole question, it makes no sense to me

[splatttt]

Exactly
it envolves

SOH CAH TOA

[:Liam]

I cant do triganomatry Its really hard to understand so is maths. Try Google XD

[sock]

lol, i'm 12. I have a way of working out, but I don't know how to explain, all you do is draw 200 lines on top of paper, draw the ships route, see how many numbers it is lol, somit like that. But I know how.

[luke-p]

Dont forget to draw the line north, then do the 85km at 67 degrees... Plus there must be a scale or it makes no sence...

Hey luke long time no see eh

Anyway here is a site that my school uses. Very good

www.kevinsplayroom.com (http://www.kevinsplayroom.com)

[chasms]

:] Sin=opp/hyp therefore sin 67 = X / 85
therefore 85sin67 = 78.2km east :P lmao :eusa_danc
:D happy to help lmao :] dw if u ever do it for a level it gets bout 100x worst :D

[StripedTiger]

jesus. thats a stupid question.

*pictures 67 degrees*

if it gives you a scale, its usually 1 cm = 1 meter or something gay. i think your supposed to draw a line from the bottom end og your north line, on a 67 degree, then just kinda measure the cm distance?

idk tbh. i havnt had a question like that before. is it higher or intermediate?

[chasms]

shud b foundation :P u lern it in yr9-yr11 ish... den u lern trigonometry from yr9 onwards lernin phythagorus first. i used trigonometry 2 work it out :D
dw dats easy stuff compared 2 A level stuff :]
