lemme check...from what i saw, ur diagram is incorrect..considering 315 as the bearing the angle b/w the liner and lifeboat path shud be 135 degree which is obtuse, its acute in ur diagram...gotta extend the 90km line till the angle made by the third line is obtuse to the 54 km line

The ship is travelling at a bearing of 090, and it is 90km away from the lifeboat at the time of the call of distress. The liner is also on a bearing of 315 from the ship. When you draw the diagram, you can mark down 45 degrees twice - one is between the 54 km and the 90 km, and one is between the 90km and the normal at that point. I am guessing that you have made an assumption that the ship is at a bearing of 315 from the lifeboat AFTER it has moved 54 km ...

I reckon J.Darren is correct, the problem is that everybody bar him has misinterpreted the question. The question states that "At 0600 hours the liner, which is 90 km from a lifeboat and on a bearing of 315 from the lifeboat...". All the other answers seem to assume that the liner is on a bearing of 315 from the lifeboat at 0730 hours, and not at 0600 hours.

cooldude, you've just made a computation error - everything is correct up to the bit when you somehow say that A is 133.75 km.
