Port A is $100 \text{ km}$ due North of Port B. A ship leaves Port A on a bearing of $130^\circ$ at $30 \text{ km/h}$. At the same time, another ship leaves Port B on a bearing of $060^\circ$ at $25 \text{ km/h}$. How far apart are the ships after $2$ hours?
A surveyor starts at point P, walks $100 \text{ m}$ on a bearing of $045^\circ$ to point Q, then $120 \text{ m}$ on a bearing of $300^\circ$ to point R. What is the bearing of point P from point R?
A lighthouse (L) is $50 \text{ km}$ from a port (P) on a bearing of $070^\circ$. A ship (S) is on a bearing of $100^\circ$ from P. The bearing of the ship (S) from the lighthouse (L) is $190^\circ$. What is the distance between the ship and the lighthouse?
A ship sails from port P on a bearing of $040^\circ$. After $30 \text{ km}$, it spots an island (I) on a bearing of $110^\circ$ from its current position (Q). The island I is known to be on a bearing of $080^\circ$ from the port P. What is the shortest distance from the island to the ship's initial path (line PQ)?
