Since a calculator is involved in finding the answer, it makes sense to me to use a calculator capable of adding vectors.
The airplane's ground speed is 158 mph, and its heading is 205.3°.
_____
A diagram can be helpful. You have enough information to determine two sides of a triangle and the angle between them. This makes using the Law of Cosines feasible for determining the resultant (r) of adding the two vectors.
.. r^2 = 165^2 +15^2 -2*165*15*cos(60°) = 24975
.. r = √24975 ≈ 158.03
Then the angle β between the plane's heading and its actual direction can be found from the Law of Sines
.. β = arcsin(15/158.03*sin(60°)) = 4.7°
Thus the actual direction of the airplane is 210° -4.7° = 205.3°.
The ground speed and course of the plane are 158 mph @ 205.3°.
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1. The circumference (c) of a circle is the diameter of a circle x pi. c = d(pi) = 14pi.
step 2. The area (A) of a circle is the radius of a circle squared x pi. The radius of a circle is 1/2 x the diameter. A = (14/2)^2(pi) = 49pi.
Step-by-step explanation:
3n+4n=-14
now add 3n and 4n
7n = -14
divide both by 7
n = -2

Answer:
$98.15
Step-by-step explanation:
2005 is 15 years after 1990. Using the formula we find ...
c(15) = 63·1.03^15 ≈ 63·1.55797
c(15) ≈ 98.152
An ounce of the chemical costs about $98.15 in 2005.
Answer:
The answer is C. 14.5 miles
