1. A boeing 737-800 airplane leaves Toronto traveling N40°W at 720 km/h. After 60 minutes, the plane encounters a storm and has to head true north and travel another 90 minutes to avoid the storm at 850km/h. What is the displacement of the aircraft after 2.5hours of flight time? Draw a diagram and round your answer to two decimal places.
