How do I find the exact answer to these questions? Without rounding until the final answer and 3 decimal places.
Solution
applying law of cosines to find the planes speed relative to ground
v^2 = 650^2 + 40^2 - 2 (650) (40) cos (135)
v^2 = 424100 + 36769.55
v = 678.87 km / hr
40^2 = 650^2 + 678.87^2 - 2 * 650 * 678.87 cos theta
finding theta
1600 = 883364.4769 - 882531 cos theta
theta = 2.3881
the plane will be off course by 2 degrees 23 minutes 17 seconds
