Ship A receives a distress signal from the southwest, and ship B receives a distress from the same vessel from the north. At what location os the vessel in distress located? Describe how you arrived at your conclusion using complete sentences.

I've attached an image showing the coordinates of Ship A and Ship B.

distressed vessel is located at (1, 1.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the image attached, we can see that;

Coordinate of ship A is (3, 4)

Coordinate of ship B is (1, 1)

Now, we are told that Ship A receives a distress signal from the southwest, and ship B receives a distress from the same vessel from the north.

This means that the distressed ship is somewhere in between ship A & B.

To solve this, we will extend the arrow line from Ship A in that same SW direction and we will do the same for ship B in the same North direction. Their point of intersection is where the distressed ship is located.

Now, if we do that, we will see that they will intersect at the point; (1, 1.5)

Thus,distressed vessel is located at (1, 1.5)
