How to find the bearing and distance a boat travels using trigonometry

The video tutorial guides viewers through solving a navigation problem involving a boat's journey. It begins with setting up initial data, including speed and direction, and identifying the problem of finding the bearing and distance from the original point. The instructor explains how to create a visual representation and handle course changes. The tutorial concludes with calculating the distance and bearing using trigonometry, emphasizing the importance of understanding angles and navigation principles.
