oh I am having a problem trying to solve the following problem.
An airplane pilot wishes to fly due west. A wind of 88.0 is blowing toward the south.
with :If the airspeed of the plane (its speed in still air) is 375 , in which direction should the pilot head?
can't figure out how to solve for the angle. any pointers?
and to find the :What is the speed of the plane over the ground?
this part should be easier once i have the angle. i think
thanks
