A boat travels 50km on a bearing of 70 degrees how far north does the boat travel?
To find how far north the boat travels, we need to calculate the northward component of the distance travelled.
Using trigonometry, we can use the sine function to calculate the northward distance:
sin(70 degrees) = Northward distance / 50 km
Northward distance = 50 km * sin(70 degrees)
Northward distance ≈ 47.34 km
Therefore, the boat travels approximately 47.34 km north.
