Standing on the shore of a lake, a fisherman sights a boat far in the distance to his left. Let $x,$ measured in radians, be the angle formed by the line of sight to the ship and a line due north from his position. Assume due north is 0 and $x$ is measured negative to the left and positive to the right. (See [link] .)
