aircraft dlies due south 100km and due west 250km, find distance and bearing from start point
a2+b2=c2
1002+2502=c2
√1002+2502=269.2582403567252016
Answer:269.3
is the bearing 90 degrees?
yes
The distance Solveit gave is correct.....however, the bearing is given by :
arctan[250/100] = 68.2° = S68.2°W [sometimes also expressed as (180 + 68.2)° = 248°]
