Have ∠CAB=45? ,∠ACB= 180? -60? = 120?
∠ABC=60? -45? = 15? ,
Draw a conclusion from sine theorem
40/sin 15? =BC/sin45?
BC=40*sin45? /sin 15?
Sin 15 again? =sin(45? -30? )=(√ 6-√ 2)/4.
BC=(40*√ 2/2)/[(√ 6-√ 2)/4]
=40√3-20√2(mim)。
∴ At this time, the distance between the cargo ship and lighthouse B is 40√3-20√2(mim).
