4)psn a is located on equtor at long. 130e psn b is located 100nm from a on a bearing of 225 deg (t). The co-ordinates of b are





x = 225 - 180 = 45 deg

In triangle AOB

x = 45 deg

AO = OB (45 45 90 triangle)

dist AB = 100 nm

dist AO = dist OB AB Cos x = 100 x cos 45 = 70.7 nm

GC dist AO = 70.7 nm = d lat x 60

d lat = 70.7/60 = 1 deg 11 min

Latitude of B = 1 deg 11 min South.


departure dist OB = 70.7 nm = d long x 60 x cos lat

70.7 = d long x 60 x cos 1 deg 11 min = d long x 59.98

d long = 70.7/59.98 = 1 deg 10 min

Longitude of B = 130 E - 1 deg 10 min = 128 deg 49 min East.

Co ordinates of B (1*11' S 128*49' E)
