Answer:Speed of airplane= 43.18mi/he

Direction of the airplane relative to the ground=4.64°. Counter-clockwise rotation from west.

Step-by-step explanation: welovity/speed is represented as magnitudes of vectors.

Let A= the vector of the airplane

Let W= the vector of the wind

From the diagram,total vector F= A + w

F= 320+ 40cos45°I +0j) + (0i + 40sin46°)

F=320+28.28i+28.28j

To calculate the magnitude

/F/=root of A2 +w2

/F/=root320+40cos45°2+40sin45°2

/F/=root 1919.5168

/F/=43.18= speed

To calculate the direction of the airplane relative to the ground, use tan function because it is a right triangle as seen in the diagram

Tan x= opp/adj=40sin45/320+40cos45

Tanx=28.28/348.28

Tanx=0.091199

×=tan-1 0.091199

×=4.64

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

\cos( \theta)  =  \frac{5}{8}  \\  {8}^{2}  =  {5}^{2}  +  {opp}^{2}  \\ {opp}^{2}  = 64 - 25 = 39 \\ opp =  \sqrt{39}  \\  \sin(\theta)  =  \frac{\sqrt{39}}{8}  \\  \tan(\theta)  =  \frac{ \sqrt{39} }{5}  \\  \cot(\theta)  =  \frac{1}{\tan(\theta)}  =  \frac{1}{\frac{ \sqrt{39} }{5}}  \\ \cot(\theta)  =  \frac{5}{ \sqrt{39} }  \\  \csc( \theta) =  \frac{1}{\sin(\theta)}  =  \frac{1}{\frac{\sqrt{39}}{8}}   \\ \csc( \theta) = \frac{8}{ \sqrt{39} }  \\  \sec( \theta) =  \frac{1}{\cos( \theta) }  =  \frac{1}{ \frac{5}{8} }  \\ \sec( \theta) =  \frac{8}{5}
