\(B\) is 60 km east of \(A\).
(a) Work out the size of angle \(x\).
Give your answer correct to 1 decimal place. (3)
Give your answer correct to 1 decimal place. (3)
(b) Work out the bearing of \(B\) from \(A\).
Give your answer correct to the nearest degree. (2)
Give your answer correct to the nearest degree. (2)
The distance from \(A\) to \(B\) is 110 km correct to 2 significant figures.
(c)
(i) Write down the lower bound for the distance from \(A\) to \(B\).
(ii) Write down the upper bound for the distance from \(A\) to \(B\). (2)
