An airplane flies 572 km in the direction of North, 35° West. The trip takes 2 hours. What is the average velocity of the plane? They provided this answer: v=d/t =572/2 = 286 Numerically this answer is correct, but the final answer, and the solution, are poorly written, missing some very important elements. Rewrite this solution the way it should be written.
