Coast Guard station Orange-Lime is located 120 miles due west of station Violet-Tangerine. A ship at sea sends an SOS call that is received by each station. The call to station Orange-Lime indicates that the bearing of the ship from Orange-Lime is N40oE (40o east of north). The call to station Violet-Tangerine indicates that the bearing of the ship from Violet-Tangerine is N30oW (30o west of north).
How far, in miles, is station Violet-Tangerine from the ship? Round to the nearest tenth.
*the 'o' represents degrees.
