A ship is sailing due north. At a certain point the bearing of a lighthouse 12.5 km distant is N38.8E. Later on, the captain notices that the bearing of the lighthouse has become S44.2E. How far did the ship travel between the two observations of the lighthouse?

Make a sketch of ∆ ABC such that :-

AB is vertical
B is above A and C is to right of AB
A = 38.8 °
B = 44.2 °
C = 97 °
AC = 12.5 km
12.5 / sin 44.2 = AB / sin 97 °
AB = 12.5 sin 97 ° / sin 44.2 °
AB = 17.8 km

Ship travelled 17.8 km between observations.
