The resultant velocity of the plane is the sum of the two velocity vectors which are perpendicular to each other. See the attached figure.

The magnitude of the resultant velocity is

\sqrt{160^2+30^2}= \sqrt{26500}=162.79 \;mph.

The approximate value of the actual velocity of the plane is 163 \;mph. Correct choice is (D).

What is the value of y?
Slav-nsk [51]
In a triangle all of the angles always add up to 180, so let's set up an equation.

79 + 37 + y = 180
Simplify
116 + y = 180
Subtract 116 from both sides.
y = 64

The value of y is 64.

Hopefully this helps! If you have any more questions or don't understand, please comment or DM me, and I'll get back to you ASAP. :)

Variable y varies directly with variable x, and y = 6 when x = 9.
lesantik [10]
X and y are proportional hence when y is multiplied by a number, x is multiplied by the same number.

18=6*3 hence when y=18,x=9*3=27

x=27
