Answer:

The speed of the wind is 12 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the plane travels 264 miles in 1.1 hours with a headwind, the following calculation must be performed to determine its speed:

264 / 1.1 = X

240 = X

Thus, the speed of the plane into the headwind was 240 miles per hour. Now, on the return, with the wind in favor, the route is completed in exactly 1 hour.

Therefore the wind exerts a difference of 24 miles per hour between one trip and another, with which, if it remains stable, its speed is 12 miles per hour (24 / 2).

The Reference angle for 302 degree is 58 degree.

<h3 /><h3>What is Reference Angle?</h3>

The acute angle formed by the terminal arm or terminal side and the x-axis is known as the reference angle.

There is always a positive reference angle.

The reference angle is, in other words, the angle formed by the terminal side and the x-axis.

Reference angle is given by

Ф = 360° - Given angle

Ф = 360° - 302°

Ф = 58°
