A ship bearing N 30-degrees W moves 3 hours at 17 miles per hour. It then turns 50 degrees starboard (to the right) to continue for 4 hours at 21 miles per hour. Finally the ship turns to a bearing of S 20-degrees E and travels for 1 hour at 12 miles per hour. Where is the ship's final location relative to its start?
You receive orders to sail due east for 24.6 mi to put your salvage ship directly over a sunken pirate ship. However, when your divers probe the ocean floor at that location and find no evidence of a ship, you radio back to your source of information, only to discover that the sailing distance was supposed to be 24.6 nautical miles, not regular miles. Use the Length table below to calculate how far horizontally you are from the pirate ship.

An airplane left an airport and flew 105 mi in the direction of N 50.4000 deg E, then turned and flew 493 mi in the direction of S 11.9000 deg E. How far (mi) and in what direction should it return to the the airport?
A ship in distress sends up flares that are visible to two other ships. The Athabasca notes that the flares are at N41E of its position. The Britannia, which is 12.7 nautical miles due east of the Athabasca, sees the flares at a bearing of 310degree . Will the Athabasca or the Britannia reach the ship in distress first if they travel at equal speeds?
