Can someone give me pointers in setting up the illustration


Can someone give me pointers in setting up the illustration for the word problems.

Thank you
A plane flying with an air speed of 195 mph is headed southwest bearing 190 .Tha ground speed of the airplane is 215 mph with a true course of 2250. Find the drif angle and speed of the wind

Solution

ground speed = | speed of wind + speed of plane |

let speed of wind = x

215 = | x + 195 |

215 ^2 = x^2 + 195^2

x = 90.55

speed of wind is 90.55 mph

drift angle is = | heading - course |

= | 190 - 225 |

drift angle = 35 degrees
