bearing- A plane flies 200 km on bearing 032°. it then flies 350 km on a bearing of 275°.

(a) find the bearing and distance of the plane from it starting point?
(b) How far north and west the plane is from the starting point?

He had almost an entire month to do it but waited till the day before resumption. Smart boy!



I don't malpractice so I'm not telling you the answers. Thankfully, you can count on other Nairalanders to come to your "rescue".

Simple mathematics, go and look for new general mathematics for SS2 and SS3 you will see the samples there. This where SOH CAH TOA or Sine, Cosine and Tan rules comes to play

It is very simple to solve if you can draw the diagram representing the flight.

You will have a non right angle triangle which will be solvable by either the Sine or Cosine rule.

Oga, abeg how do you know that the 32° is from the North to the East at point A?

Thanks. I understand it now. The 032° should be measured in a clockwise direction from the north. And that's what you did

I am not sure if this question is completely. 032 SE, SW or what. There must be a direction.

When it is written 032 and 275 it means counting from zero and zero starts from North to east in clockwise direction. If you no understand maths you at least should understand geography
