Geometry help. I will give a metal.
Ask Away :p
Ship A receives a distress signal from the northeast and ship B receives a distress signal from the same vessel from the west. At what location is the vessel in distress located? Describe how you arrived at your conclusion using complete sentences. Which theorem or postulate does this demonstrate? You must show all work and steps(10 points)

Im sorry I honestly had no idea >.<
Oh okay
@undeadknight26
Because ship A receives signals from the Northeast, the angle at which it receives signals is 45 degrees. Now if you look at the graph, you can see that the the vector of point A will pass the points (2,2), (3,3) etc. so you can conclude that the equation would be y=x for that line. For point B, the equation is simply y=3, so both lines would meet at point (3,3) I don't really know what theorem or postulate this is but I hope that helped :)
That helped a lot thank you.
