Answer:

13.98 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the airplane be at point A, the airport at point B and the point of overshoot, point C.

If the plane is on path AC and the pilot wants to adjust to the path AB, the angle by which the pilot will adjust the airplane heading is the angle between AB and AC which is A.

Using Cosine Rule

Cos A=\dfrac{b^2+c^2-a^2}{2bc} \\Cos A=\dfrac{65^2+60^2-16^2}{2(65)(60)} \\Cos A=0.9704\\A=arcCos (0.9704)\\\angle A=13.98^\circ

The pilot should adjust the plane's heading by 13.98 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

To divide fractions, we have to focus on 4 steps, which are:

1: Change to improper fractions

2: Keep the same

3: Change the sign to multiplication

4: Flip the 2nd fraction in the equation

So, step one:

1/3 / 4/5

Step two:

1/3 / 4/5

Step three:

1/3 x 4/5

Step four:

1/3 x 4/5 = (4 / 15)

4/15 is in simplist for.

Therefore, your answer is 4/15.

Best of Luck to you!!
