HARD Law of Cosines word problem
A new car leaves an auto transport trailer for a test drive in the flat surface desert in the direction N47ºW at constant speed of 65 miles per hour. The trailer proceeds at constant rate of 50 miles per hour due East. If the car has enough fuel for exactly 3 hours of riding at constant speed, what is the maximum distance in the same direction that the car can cover in order to safely return to the trailer?
