Perpendicular/nonperpendicular course headings: Two shrimp trawlers depart Charleston Harbor at the same time. One heads for the shrimping grounds located 12 mi north and 3 mi east of the harbor. The other heads for a point 2 mi south and 8 mi east of the harbor. Assuming the harbor is at (0, 0), are the routes of the trawlers perpendicular? If so, how far apart are the boats when they reach their destinations (to the nearest one-tenth mi)?
