Ship F leaves port P and travels on a bearing of 145 degrees. A second ship G leaves the same port P and travels on a bearing of 185 degrees. After half an hour, ship F has travelled 4.1km and ship G has travelled 9.9km.

How far apart are the ships after half an hour to 3 significant figures?

If it's possible, please could you add a diagram because I'm really unsure on bearings, but if not, then it's okay.

Thank you.

We can help you best if you follow the rules:

In particular, that means showing us what help you need, so we can direct our efforts where they are needed. By showing even your wrong work, you show us what we need to explain about bearings that you didn't already get from mere explanations or examples.
