I have a couple of problems.. I'll show all my work...
A swimmer wants to swim due east in a stream that flows due south. In which direction should the swimmer swim?
The choices are east, north, northeast, south, southeast, and west... I chose Northeast.
Here's another question... use the bolded situation for the next 2 questions.
A plane flies west with a 100km/h velocity with respect to the air while the wind is blowing toward the north at 65km/h relative to the ground.
If the plane wants to fly directly west with respect to the ground, in what direction should he head his plane with respect to the air?
southwest? I'm not sure.. i think i need degrees for this too...
What if the wind is blowing directly south rather than north, where should the pilot head his plane if he wants to go directly west?
northwest? I'm not sure.. i think i need degrees for this too...
