Hello! I was wondering about this math problem, because our teacher never went over this with us! Here it is: A sailor spots a whale through her binoculars. She wonders how far away the whale is, but the whale does not show up on the radar system. She sees another boat in the distance and radios the captain asking him to spot the whale and record its direction. Explain how this added information could enable the sailor to pinpoint the location of the whale. Under what circumstance would this idea fail?
