1. **Problem statement:**
We have triangle BFG with sides BF = 36 km, FG = 55 km, and angles at F and B given. We need to find:
i) Bearing of B from F
ii) Distance BG
iii) Bearing of G from B
2. **Understanding bearings and angles:**
- Bearing is measured clockwise from the north direction.
- Angle at F is 103° between BF and FG.
- Angle at B is 4° between vertical north and BG.
3. **Step i) Bearing of B from F:**
- Given angle at F is 103°, which is the angle between north line at F and line BF.
- Bearing of B from F = 103° (already given).
4. **Step ii) Calculate distance BG:**
- Use Law of Cosines in triangle BFG:
$$BG^2 = BF^2 + FG^2 - 2 \times BF \times FG \times \cos(\angle F)$$
- Substitute values:
$$BG^2 = 36^2 + 55^2 - 2 \times 36 \times 55 \times \cos(103^\circ)$$
- Calculate:
$$36^2 = 1296$$
$$55^2 = 3025$$
$$\cos(103^\circ) \approx -0.224951$$
- So:
$$BG^2 = 1296 + 3025 - 2 \times 36 \times 55 \times (-0.224951)$$
$$BG^2 = 4321 + 2 \times 36 \times 55 \times 0.224951$$
$$BG^2 = 4321 + 446.3 = 4767.3$$
- Therefore:
$$BG = \sqrt{4767.3} \approx 69.0 \text{ km}$$
5. **Step iii) Bearing of G from B:**
- Angle at B between north and BG is 4° to the east of north.
- Bearing of G from B = 4°
**Final answers:**
- i) Bearing of B from F = 103°
- ii) Distance BG = 69.0 km
- iii) Bearing of G from B = 4°
