Answer:
218.93 km
Explanation:
[tex]\theta[/tex] = Angle between the paths of the two boats = 54.10°
Distance = Speed × Time
Distance traveled by one boat = [tex]36.2\times 3\ km[/tex]
Distance traveled by other boat = [tex]45.6\times 3\ km[/tex]
From the triangle law of vectors we have
[tex]d=\sqrt{(36.2\times 3)^2+(45.6\times 3)^2+2\times 36.2\times 3\times 45.6\times 3\times cos54.10}\\\Rightarrow d=218.93\ km[/tex]
The distance they will be apart after 3 hours is 218.93 km
