A ship is headed due north at a constant 24 miles per hour. Because of the ocean current, the true course of the ship is 15°. If the currents are a constant 22 miles per hour, in what direction are the currents running? (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list. Round your answers to the nearest whole number.)

Ratios

A ratio is a comparison between two numbers of the same kind. It represents how many times one number contains another. It also represents how small or large one number is compared to the other.

Trigonometric Ratios

Trigonometric ratios give values of trigonometric functions. It always deals with triangles that have one angle measuring 90 degrees. These triangles are right-angled. We take the ratio of sides of these triangles.

Cam and Cory are floating down a river in individual rafts when they both fall asleep. The river came to a fork and each went separate directions. Cam traveled 20° east of north, where Cory floated 5° west of north. When Cam woke up he estimated he had travelled about 750 feet after the fork. He phoned Cory to wake him up, where Cory then estimated he was about 1000 feet from the fork. If Cam decided to hike the distance between them to meet up, about how far will he have to hike?
