After enjoying his stay in London, Vaan wanted to head to the airport, which is 5.73 km 14° S of W from his accommodation. Before heading to the airport, he went to the souvenir shop, which is 2.15 km 32° N of W from his accommodation. He then took a meal in a café 0.8 km west of the souvenir shop. How far and in what direction should Vaan travel from the café to the airport?

In calm air a plane flying from the Pedimaxus International Airport can reach Cliffs of insanity in two hours by following a bearing of N8.2 degrees East at 96 miles an hour. (The distance between the airport and the cliffs is 192 miles. ) If the wind is blowing from the southwest at 25 miles per hour, what speed and bearing should the pilot take so that she makes the trip in two hours along the original heading?
An explorer is caught in a whiteout (in which the snowfall is so thick that the ground cannot be distinguished from the sky) while returning to base camp.
