To solve the problem of determining the direction in which the ship should be steered, we can follow these steps:
### Step 1: Understand the Directions
The ship needs to reach a destination that is 10 degrees south of west. This means if we visualize the compass:
- West is at 270 degrees.
- South of west means we move 10 degrees towards the south from the west direction.
### Step 2: Draw the Compass Directions
