Two ships leave a harbor at the same time. one ship travels on a bearing upper s 12 degrees upper w at 18 miles per hour. the other ship travels on a bearing upper n 75 degrees upper e at 12 miles per hour. how far apart will the ships be after 2 hours?

Between N75E and E there are (90-75)=15°
Between E and S there are 90°
Between South and S12°W there 12°
Applying cosine rule 
Another way is to measure all angles clockwise from north (called azimuth) The ship at S12°W is at 180+12 = 192° 
The ship at N75°E is at 75° 
Angle between them is 192-75 = 117°

Applying cosine rule:
c=√(36²+24²-2×36×24cos117)
c=√2656.496
c=51.54 mi

All points to the left of zero on a horizontal number line are negative. a number line is a picture of a graduated straight line that serves as abstraction for real numbers. this number line can be extended to the left to represent numbers which are smaller than 0. such numbers are called negative numbersmark me brainliest
