asked 05/13/20You are driving on a course of 105˚. A radio station that is due East and 30 miles away from your current location puts out a signal with a 25 mile radius. If you continue on your 105˚ course, in how many miles will the radio station be in range? Once you are in range, how many more miles until you are out of range?

Typically compass bearings have north at the top and go in a clockwise direction so traveling at a bearing of 105° is like this:
Since East is at 90°, then the course traveling 105° is 15° South of due East. So your "triangle" would look like this:
