To solve the problem of determining the direction in which the ship should be steered, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Directions - The declination is given as 15 degrees west of north. This means that the magnetic north is shifted 15 degrees towards the west from the true north. - The destination is 18 degrees south of east. This means that from the east direction, we will move 18 degrees towards the south. ### Step 2: Draw the Compass - Draw a compass with the four cardinal directions: North (N), South (S), East (E), and West (W). ...
