thanks,

but I don't understand why
2000 = X + Y + Z when x is the distance ship has traveled?

y² = z² + 140² - 280zcos150°
y² = z² + 140² + 242.487 ~Little note here - probably shouldn't round this yet.

Where do you leave the z here (280zcos150° to 242.487)?
And why is x 140?

Yeah I am missing some side length.

I asked my friend and we solved the top 2 questions.
