Question:
Two ships are approaching a port along straight routes at constant speeds. Initially,the two ships and the port formed an equilateral triangle with sides of length 24 km. When the slower ship travelled 8 km,the triangle formed by the new positions of the two ships and the port became right-angled. When the faster ship reaches the port, the distance,in km,between the other ship and the port will be
