I got the correct answer as the displacement on the y-axis is 805 m [N] as this is a right-angled triangle (using Pythagorean theorem). The boat is also traveling [ E 47 N ] as cosΘ =750/1100 and therefore the angle would be 47°. Why would the length of the hypotenuse be 1100 m though? 1100m...

displacement (x) = 750 m [E] distance = 1100 m I drew a diagram. Now what??

The velocity of the plane relative to the ground is 269.6 km/h [N 5.6 E]. Shouldn't it be the velocity of the ground relative to the plane is - 269.6 km/h [N 5.6 E]

Answer is ground velocity but I thought it should be air velocity as that will influence the turbulence and direction no?
