Two helicopters leave a heliport at the same time. The first flies 190km/h in a direction of 290 degrees. The second flies 130km/h in a direction of 250 degrees. After 3 hours, how far apart are the helicopters? Round your answer to the nearest kilometer.
A drone operator has his drone take off and then start flying due north. The
drone flies 45.3 meters when it collides with a flying bird. The impact makes the
drone veer 24.5° east. It then flies another 22.6 meters before its emergency
auto-landing program causes it to land.
How far, d, and in what direction, e, must the operator walk to retrieve his
drone?
