Here is what you need to know about the Bermuda Triangle before going into this adventure: The Triangle itself is formed between three points: the city of Miami, Florida (M), the island of Bermuda (B), and the capital of Puerto Rico, San Juan (S). The island of Bermuda is roughly 1,730 kilometers 57 of Miami and the city of San Juan is roughly 1,725 kilometers 68 of Miami 1. As the Blacktide departs from its port in San Juan heading toward the center of the triangle, you decide to do some quick calculations for the dimensions of the Bermuda Triangle. Draw a picture of the triangle given the dimensions and bearings above and determine the values of all three angles inside of the Bermuda Triangle and the distance from Bermuda to San Juan in kilometers. Round to the nearest whole number for all values.

As you travel, you decide to watch the waves closely and do some calculations to see if there are any signs of a storm on the horizon. Wave height in the open ocean tend to average to about 2-6 meters high from the crest (or peak) of the wave to the trough of the wave. When a large hurricane or tropical storm is within 100 kilometers of your current location, the waves tend to increase to more than 6 meters high, oftentimes more than 9. You time from one peak of a wave to another peak to determine the period of the wave function, which you estimate to be about 6. Further, you know that the average ocean depth in the current area is about 3,800 meters, which you use as the positive Vertical Shift. Lastly, you determine that cosine would be the best function to use, so that you do not have to calculate a value for the phase shift.

3. Create the equation for the cosine wave in the following format: ()=cos()+ Using the point (53,3799), determine the value of the amplitude in your function rounded to the nearest hundredth. Be sure that you are in radian mode in your calculator. Should you be worried about a tropical storm in the area? Graph one full cycle of this function starting at =0 and list or label at least five points.
