A plane is 48 miles west and 49 miles north of an airport. The pilot wants to fly directly to the airport. What bearing should the pilot take? Answer should be given in degrees and minutes.

Clipboard02.jpg tan(x) = 48/49
heading = 180-x

x=180-arctan(48/49)

heading = 135.6

sorry about the error before.

HomicidalStick say: A plane is 48 miles west and 49 miles north of an airport. The pilot wants to fly directly to the airport. What bearing should the pilot take? Answer should be given in degrees and minutes.

The plane is North and West of the airport and wants to head to the airport.
The plane is 68.6 miles bearing 315.6 degrees relative to the airport.
To approach the airport, the plane would head 315.-180 = 135.6 degrees “true.” Or 135 Degrees 36 Minutes “true.”

Until learn how to do this (and a lot more), you should change your name to SuicidalStick.

This is an incredibly rude response. It is not necessary to resort to personal attacks. This is a maths problem not a real plane.
We all make mistakes. It is no big deal. Such respones are not welcome here!

I understand, Kemosabe . Me “Attitude” (the aircraft axes relative to reference) interpreted wrongly. Try to make funy not make rude. You make boo-boo. Call back please the drop bear. Not real plane only math. Like bad Russian joke with radioactive Kalashnikov you answer. No one say Caesium but number for Caesium was answer. That not right joke because it make children sick. Polonium right answer for joke because it k**l defektor but number wrong. You not know that so I not say anythink.

Message to Kamikaze, Be like boomerang. Turn 180 degrees “relative” to prevent “shove it up your behind” attack. Attack not on you. (Though bad maths k**l citizens). Why delete, instead of fix? (Good. You fix boo-boo).

Kamikaze more rude than joke I say to HomicidalStick. Mine more like snark read on here. Me say as joke to HomicidalStick to change name to SuicidalStick until he learn to fly and do maths, else he only k**l himself because his target he never reach. Maybe he crash plane and also k**l citizens. Why he want “degrees and minutes” and not decimals numbers because airport is aircraft carrier is why. Airport not use this numbers.

I like Americans. This is reason why I know what is Kemosabe. And what is make boo-boo. And what is Fly me to the Moon.
I like Australians. This is reason why I know what is drop bear. And what is boomerang. And what is Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport
I like you site. Where to learn my English and informations on maths here.

A kоmrаde is here to speak and write good English to help me write the first record. Now he is not here. Take me long time for to write this because of bad English and bad translator site and bad feelings.
Not want to make anger. Now it will be for me to leave you airspace. Now it will be for me to fly to the Blue Moon.

This is one reason I became a Professional Troll.

You correct a mistake and make a funny joke on the funny users name, the moderator jumps your a*s as if you lobed a grenade in the room. Kamikaze Rom the error master shoves a grenade up your “behind” to finish you off.

You then apologize. I know your apology is an extreme form of sarcasm because finding an apologetic Russian, who isn’t standing before a firing squad, is less likely than finding a polite “East” German. It was brilliant, but it seemed too real. No one got it.

You should have said “Now it will be for me to fly to the Blue Moon, after you BITE ME!”
This keeps the apologetic tone then conveys the sarcasm as a surprise. It is like tweaking your girlfriends nose after kissing her. In that instance you will get slapped. Here, you will get virtual a*s jumps and grenades shoved up your “behind.” But it is great!

“Bite me” in English is funny. Americans and some Australians will get it. It is close to and just as funny as your “укусить меня” but the translation is lost. Literally, it is closer to “Чью по этому.” But you have to use the English.

You should join the Professional Troll Association. There are strict rules you have to follow, but it will help with your English. Melody and Rom are the largest posters here. Until today, I didn’t target them because… Well because I did not know what post to pick. Think of a lion in the vast hunting ground of zebras. Which one do you pick? The white zebra with the black stripes or the Black zebra with the white stripes? Too much choice. Eventually, the lion makes a decision. The lion has lunch, but the zebra does not like it much.
