Northwest is 315o
Start at oigin 0,0 find components of north and west for each
A 2 hours 2 * 10.5 * sin 315 =14.85 W
2 * 10.5 * cos 315 = 14.85 N
B 2 hours 28 sin 280 = 27.57 W
28 cos 280 = 4.86 N
Ship A is |14.85 - 4.86| = 9.99 N-S km
and |14.85 - 27.57| = 12.72 W-E km of ship B Pythag theorem sqrt (12.72^2 + 9.99^2) = 16.17 km apart
(I hope I did that correctly!
