A pilot flies in a straight path for 1 hour and 30 min. she then makes a course correction, heading 10 degrees to the right of h

er original course, and flies 2 hours in the new direction. if she maintains a constant speed of 685 miles per hour, how far is she from her starting position?

The pilot makes a big triangle with her flight path. The longest side will be her distance from the start as the crow flies.

Use the Law of Cosines (deg mode on a calculator):

c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab(cos C)

C = 170 degrees (only a 10 deg correction from 180)

a = 685 x 1.5 = 1027.5 miles

b = 685 x 2 = 1370 miles

It doesn’t matter which side is a and which side is b.

Now plug in the values and solve for c. Hope this helps.

Resistance is equal to relation between voltage and current.

R = \frac{U}{I}

If we express current:

I = \frac{U}{R}

If current is in fact 0 then one of the quantities either voltage or resistance must be equal to zero. Since resistance cannot be equal 0, because that would violate mathematical law that states that division by zero is undefined the only logical conclusion is voltage.

So the answer should be C voltage and B zero.

Hope this helps!
