AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of determining the direction in which the ship should be steered, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Directions**: - The ship needs to reach a location that is 20 degrees south of west. This means if we visualize the compass, we start from the west direction and move 20 degrees towards the south. 2. **Identify the Angle of Declination**: ...
