Answer:
The drift angle is approximately 7.65° towards the East from the plane's heading
Step-by-step explanation:
The speed of the plane = 350 mph
The direction in which the plane flies N 40° E = 50° counterclockwise from the eastern direction
The speed of the wind = 40 mph
The direction of the wind = S 70° E = 20° clockwise from the eastern direction
The component velocities of the plane are;
= (350 × cos 50)·i + (350 × sin 50)·j
= (40 + cos 20)·i - (40 × sin 40)·j
The resultant speed of the plane =
+
= 265.915·i +242.404·j
The direction the plane is heading = tan⁻¹(242.404/265.915) ≈ 42.35°
Therefore, the drift angle = Actual Angle - Direction of the plane = 50 - 42.35 ≈ 7.65° towards the East

Answer:
A = 12 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a Triangle = base * height / 2
The triangle might look weird and doesn't look like it has a base, but if you look at the left side you see there is a straight line which means there is a base, so we flip the picture until we see that the flat line on the bottom or the base.
The base is 4 units.
To find the height, we don't need a straight line, we just need to see how the tall the triangle is, to do that you must start from the lowest point and count up to the highest point.
You now get 6 units.
A = bh/2
A = 4*6/2
A = 24/2
A = 12 square units
