To find the answer to this, we can use the formula for the diagonal of a square,
a
, with a being the length of the side. That meaans that the length of the diagonal is 98
, which is approximately equal to 138.59.
-4 - 7 divide 8n thats the answer
Let the position of the airport be A, the point 160 miles north be B, and the point 85 miles east of that (i.e. the location of the plane) be C. Then ABC forms a right-angled triangle.
<span>tan BAC = 85/160 </span>
<span>BAC = arctan (85/160) </span>
<span>= arctan 0.531 (approx.) </span>
<span>= 27.98° (approx.) </span>
<span>So C is N 27.98° E from A. </span>
<span>The plane should fly S 27.98° W to get to the airport.
