Asked by Jodie
If a plane flies due north for 70km, then due west for 145km, what would the compass bearing be for the plane from its starting point? Please email me once you have the result at [email protected]

Sorry, can not email to you.
The word compass bearing is used correctly here.
tangent of angle north from west axis = 70/145
tan^-1 (70/145) = 26 deg so
bearing = 270+26 = 296 degrees clockwise from North
this is approximately west north west
