A ship is sailing due north at 50 km per hour. She launches a jet which assumes a bearing of 50° 12 ́and a speed of 400km/hr. After 2 hour both the ship & the jet turn around & travel toward eachother

What must be the bearing of each?

also please do a diagram of the triangle

Thank you

What is preventing you from drawing and labeling a diagram?

If they turned around they wouldn't be traveling toward each other unless they each track the other, or they reverse their courses and will collide at the point where they separated.

Honestly, I wrote down the question from my assignment word for word. I have always had trouble with doing the triangle diagram and with bearings as well but this one has been really hard for me to figure out.

There is a physics issue also. If the ship is moving as the rocket is launched the speed of the rocket relative to the earth is affected. It is no longer 400 kph.
