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

Step 1

The distance between airport base and town A, (in the direction 20.0° north of east)

$d_{1} = 335 km$

The distance between town A and town B, (in the direction 30.0° west of north)

$d_{2} = 260 km$
