The plane flies a distance of approximately 10.536 kilometers in <em>straight</em> line and with a bearing of approximately 035°.

A plane that travels a distance r, in kilometers, with a bearing of \theta sexagesimal degrees can be represented in standard position by means of the following expression:

\vec r = r\cdot (\sin\theta, \cos \theta) (1)

We can obtain the resulting vector (\vec R) by the principle of superposition:

\vec R = \Sigma_{i=1}^{n} [r_{i}\cdot (\sin \theta_{i}, \cos \theta_{i})] (2)

If we know that r_{1} = 5\,km, \theta_{1} = 0^{\circ}, r_{2} = 6\,km, \theta_{2} = 60^{\circ}, r_{3} = 4\,km and \theta_{3} = 120^{\circ}, then the resulting vector is:

\vec R = 5\cdot (\sin 0^{\circ}, \cos 0^{\circ}) + 6\cdot (\sin 60^{\circ}, \cos 60^{\circ}) + 4\cdot (\sin 120^{\circ}, \cos 120^{\circ})

\vec R = (5\sqrt{3}, 6) \,[km]

The magnitude of the resultant is found by Pythagorean theorem:

\|\vec R\| = \sqrt{R_{x}^{2}+R_{y}^{2}}

And the bearing is determined by the following <em>inverse</em> trigonometric relationship:

\theta_{R} = \tan^{-1} \left(\frac{R_{y}}{R_{x}}\right) (3)

If we know that R_{x} = 5\sqrt{3}\,km and R_{y} = 6\,km, then the magnitude and the bearing of the resultant is:

\|\vec R\| = \sqrt{(5\sqrt{3})^{2}+6^{2}}

\|\vec R\| \approx 10.536\,km

\theta_{R} = \tan^{-1} \left(\frac{6}{5\sqrt{3}} \right)

\theta_{R} \approx 34.715^{\circ}

The plane flies a distance of approximately 10.536 kilometers in <em>straight</em> line and with a bearing of approximately 035°.

Rule for raising a power to a new power
KiRa [710]
The practical rule would be, times that number, by the result of the first time you multiplied the first number. But, it would all depend by how much your're raising the number by.

<u>For example:</u> \boxed{4^6}

We do, (4*4*4*4*4*4)= \boxed{\bf{4^6}}= 4096

But, once again, this was an example. This would show and illustrate the rule of "raising a power".<span />
