Aloha Airlines Flight 007 is flying due east but finds it necessary to detour around a group of thundershowers. The plane 1st turns at a bearing of N 73° E, flies for a while, then 2nd turns to intercept the original path and travels for 50 km at a bearing of S 41° E, back to the original path. As stated the plane traveled 50 km in the 2nd leg of the journey getting back to the path. How far did the plane travel in the 1st leg of the journey?

For Problems 37 through 42, use your knowledge of bearing, heading, and true course to sketch a diagram that will help you solve each problem. Heading and Distance Two planes take off at the same time from an airport. The first plane is flying at 246 miles per hour on a course of 135.0. The second plane is flying in the direction 175.0 at 357 miles per hour. Assuming there are no wind currents blowing, how far apart are they after 2 hours?

A ship is traveling from a port located at (-2, -2) to a destination located at (10, 10). It decides to set a course straight to the destination. Before starting, however, due to a nearby storm, it decided to change its original bearing 2 degrees towards the northern direction. It travels 4 miles, and then changes its bearing so that it can travel straight towards the destination. What is the new bearing it must go after it travels the 4 miles?
