(choose chapter or problem)

Flight Path Problem: Sam flies a helicopter to drop supplies to stranded flood victims. He will fly from the supply depot, S, to the drop point, P. Then he will return to the helicopters base at B, as shown in Figure 6-2g. The drop point is 15 mi from the supply depot. The base is 21 mi from the drop point. It is 33 miles between the supply depot and the base. Because the return flight to the base will be made after dark, Sam wants to know in what direction to fly. What is the angle between the two paths at the drop point?
