Question

The piolet of a single-engine airplane flies at a constant speed of 200 km/h at a bearing of N 25 degree E. There is a 40 km/h crosswind blowing southeast (S 45 degress E). What are the plane's actual speed and direction? Round the speed to the nearest tenth and the directiuon to the nearest degree.

Answer 1

Do this one just like your hiker problem. For each part, figure the x- and y-distances, add them up, then at the end find the angle whose tangent is the final y/x value.

Answer 2

If X = 2 inches, Y = 4 inches, and Z = 4 inches, what is the surface area of the box?

Answer 3

190.1 km/h
54 degrees, or N 36 degrees E
