Question

(III) An airplane, whose air speed is \(580\mathrm{\ km}/\mathrm{h}\), is supposed to fly in a straight path \(38.0^{\circ}\) N of E. But a steady \(82\mathrm{\ km}/\mathrm{h}\) wind is blowing from the north. In what direction should the plane head? [Hint: Use the law of sines, Appendix A–7.]

Solution

Step 1 of 4)
