Suppose you walk 12.5 m in a direction exactly 19° south of west then you walk 20.5 m in a direction exactly 42° west of north. How far are you from your starting point, in meters? What is the angle of the compass direction of a line connecting your starting point to your final position measured North of West in degrees?
An airplane leaves the airport and flies 170 km at 68 degrees east of north and then changes direction to fly 230 km at 48 degrees south of east, after which it makes emergency landing in a pasture. When the aiport sends out a crew to rescue, in whcih direction and how far should this crew fly to go directly to this plane? Use the parallelogram method. Scale: (1cm=50 km)
You watch an ant crawl around on a piece of paper. The paper is 10.0 inches from top to bottom and 9.60 inches across. When you first look, the ant is at the top of the paper, in the middle of the page. It crawls around finally leaving the paper at the bottom right corner of the paper. Using a coordinate system with the origin at the center of the paper, the +x+x direction pointing to the right, and the +y+y direction point to the top of the page, what angle does the line from the origin to the ant's initial location make with the horizontal? Multiple choice: 43.9° above the horizontal 45° above the horizontal 90° above the horizontal 0° (along the horizontal) 46.2° above the horizontal
Starting in Albany, you travel a distance 377 miles in a direction 17.8 degrees north of west. Then, from this new position, you travel another distance 288 miles in a direction 19.4 degrees north of east. In your final position, what is your displacement from Albany? 665 miles 37.2 degrees North of East 228 miles 67.5 degrees North of East 461 miles 53.3 degrees North of East 665 miles 37.2 degrees North of West
A Red Cross helicopter takes off from headquarters and flies 115 km in the direction 195° from North.It drops off some relief supplies, then flies 135 km at 350° from North to pick up three medics.If the helicoper then heads directly back to headquarters, find the distance and direction (rounded to one decimal place) it should fly. The direction should be in degrees from north.
A surveyor needs to find the distance across a straight river. Markers are set up at points A and B on opposite sides of the river (see diagram), and at point CC that is 290 feet from B, the angle C is measured and found to be 45∘19.8′You may assume angle B is a right angle. The distance from A to B is feet.
5) Calculate the angle you would need to travel to get from Chicago to Dallas. Explain how this angle is measured using the cardinal directions (North, South, East, and West).
A new landowner has a triangular piece of flat land she wishes to fence. Starting at the west corner, she measures the first side to be 80.0 m long and the next to be 105 m. These sides are represented as displacement vectors A from B in Figure 15. She then correctly calculates the length and orientation of the third side C. What is her result?

Round the distance to at least 2 decimal places and the angle to at least 1 decimal place. Tower C is km at a bearing of ? N S ° ? E W from Tower B.
You are driving south along the shore of the Mississippi River. At this point it is flowing due South. You notice a prominent radio tower right on the far shore, at a bearing of 115 degrees. You drive on for 2 miles and notice that now the radio tower appears at a bearing of 55 degrees. You figure that at this point the Mississippi river is -------- miles wide. Round to two decimal places.
Question 16 If a plane moves along horizontally at 797.5 km/h and down at -30.4 km/h, what is the angle with respect to horizontal at which the plane is flying? Report to two decimal points. Note that the angle below the horizontal should be reported as a negative number because it's in the fourth quadrant. A negative number, in this case, means X degrees lower than the horizontal.
