X=200cos(162+90)+350cos(260+90)

y=200sin(162+90)+350sin(260+90)

x≈282.88

y≈-250.99

So the length of the return trip is:

d^2=x^2+y^2

d^2≈143017.0745

d≈378.18

tanα=-250.99/282.88

α=arctan(-250.99/282.88)

α≈-41.58°  that's the standard angle relative to the positive x-axis...

We need to be going in the exact opposite direction when returning so...

180-41.58=138.42°  again this angle is standard notation.  To convert this to a bearing we need to subtract 90°...

So the bearing is 138.42-90=48.42°

So the return trip will be 378.18km on a bearing of 48.42°

(I have assumed that the bearing was relative to true north, or the positive y axis....)

Solve the system of equations.in this form: (x, y)<br><br> -5y + 8x = -18<br><br> 5y + 2x = 58
Gre4nikov [31]
If we add the equations it looks like
-5y + 8x + 5y + 2x = -18+58
so 10x=40
so x=40/10=4
now let's replace x by 4 in the second equation
5y +2*4=58
5y=58-2*4=58-8=50
so y=50/5=10
so (x, y) = (2, 10)
