Answer:

341.46miles

Explanation:

Find the diagram attachment.

To get the displacement D, we will use the cosine rule as shown;

D² = 200²+150²-2(160)(400)cos65°

D² = 40000+22500-128000cos65°

D² = 62500+54095.14

D² = 116595.14

D = √116595.14

D= 341.46 miles

Hence the plane final displacement is 341.46miles
