Question

Polygon with three sides, three angles, and three vertices. Based on the properties of each side, the types of triangles are scalene (triangle with three three different lengths and three different angles), isosceles (angle with two equal sides and two equal angles), and equilateral (three equal sides and three angles of 60°). The types of angles are acute (less than 90°); obtuse (greater than 90°); and right (90°).

Chapter 2.4, Problem 4E

To determine

To tell why ‘Cocked hat’ is a sensible rule to sailors.

Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Cocked hat rule

Sailors use this method of finding their position when they are navigating near shore, sighting on lighthouses, smokestacks, and other landmarks shown on their charts. They call the small triangle formed by the three sighting lines a “Cocked hat”, and usually mark their position at the corner closest to the nearest hazard.

This is a sensible rule to sailors as they take positioning from the corner so as to get an accurate fix. Sailors take the positioning to get the ship’s position.

Conclusion:

Therefore, cocked hat rule is a very helpful rule to sailors.
