Question
A bank in Makati is robbed. To elude police, the robbers escaped by helicopter making short stopover at three different places whose location are as follows: 20 km 45* SE, 33 km 26*NW, 16 km 18* SE. At the end of the third stopover, they are captured. Give the location of this position relative to Makati.

- Use your knowledge of bearing, heading, and true course to sketch a diagram that will help you solve the problem.A plane is flying with an airspeed of 140 miles per hour and heading 150°. The wind currents are running at 30 miles per hour at 175° clockwise from due north. Use vectors to find the true course and ground speed of the plane.
