Question
A plane takes off from an airport and flies to town A, located
d1 = 335 km
from the airport in the direction 20.0° north of east. The plane then flies to town B, located
d2 = 260 km
at 30.0° west of north from town A. Use graphical methods to determine the distance and direction from town B to the airport. (Enter the distance in km and the direction in degrees south of west.)
Expert Solution
