Answer 1

Answer:

The distance of the aircraft from its straight point is 277.85 km.

Explanation:

Given that during a flight aircraft a new aircraft flies 240 km south and then 140 km west, to find the distance of the aircraft from its straight point the following calculation must be performed, using the Pythagorean theorem:

140 ^ 2 + 240 ^ 2 = X ^ 2

19,600 + 57,600 = X ^ 2

√77,200 = X

277.85 = X

Therefore, the distance of the aircraft from its straight point is 277.85 km.
