A fishing boat leaves port (P) and sails on a straight course. After two hours, it’s distance south of the port is 24 km and it’s distance east of the port is 7km position (F).
1) Draw a diagram to show the journey of the fishing boat.
2) calculate the bearing of the fishing boat from its starting point.
if it’s possible, can you please show the working? Thanks in advance🙏🏽

d^2 = 24^2 + 7^2 = 576 + 49 = 625
d = sqr625 = 25 km from port
It's a right triangle with sides 7, 24 and hypotenuse = 25= distance traveled
the angle A is the angle whose cosine = 7/25= 7 km/25km
A =about -73.74 degrees with the x-axis, SSE
