A plane is flying with an airspeed of 140 miles per hour and heading 150°. The wind currents are running at 25 miles per hour at 165° clockwise from due north. Use vectors to find the true course and ground speed of the plane. (Round your answers to the nearest ten for the speed and to the nearest whole number for the angle.) mi/hr with heading
