For each situation below, draw a diagram and give the answer to the requested number of significant figures.


a) Cell phone towers can measure how far each user is. Paul uses his phone while between two towers. Tower A measures that he is 500 meters away, and tower B measures that he is 1.5km away. The angle that he makes with the towers is 105°. Find how far apart the towers are, to two significant figures.


b) A car goes 40km on a straight road, then turns slightly to the right and keeps going. It stops after 14km this way. In a straight line, the car is now 47.6km away from its starting point. What was the angle that this right turn formed with the road? Give the result to three significant figures.


c) An airplane flies 550km from city A to city B, on a bearing of 155°. Then, it flies 300km from city B to city C, on a bearing of 200°. Find the distance between A and C, and the bearing to fly back from C to A. Give the answers to two significant figures.

Three cities in Germany, mainly Munich, Berlin, and Leipzig are represented on the diagram below. We know that Leipizig is directly east to Munich, Berin is 200km away from Leipzig, and \( \hat{MBL} = 142^\circ \).


The bearing of Berlin from Munich is \( 78^\circ \)


a) Find the size of the angle \( \hat{BLM} \).


Jack takes a train which travels in a straight line from Munich to Berlin. In Berlin he switches to another train which again goes in a straight line from Berlin to Leipzig. Both trains go with a constant speed of 200km/h.


b) How long did Jack travel for, assuming that he spent an hour in Berlin waiting for the second train?


c) Find the area of the triangle \( MBL \).
