Question

The distance between the two cities (of Cuiabá and Campo Grande) is 565 km. On a windless day, an airplane travels in a straight line, traveling at a constant speed of 312 km/h. On a given day, all the way between the cities, a constant wind of speed v⃗ a of module 68 km/h blows at an angle of θ=60o with the direction defined by the distance between the cities, as shown in the figure below .

An inexperienced pilot, to go from Cuiabá to Campo Grande, guides the plane's speed towards Campo Grande, ignoring the wind and applying the usual speed of 312 km/h in relation to the wind. After covering the time that the windless journey is usually completed, how far is the plane from Cuiabá?
