Homework Statement
An airplane has an airspeed of 430 mph at a bearing of S 45 degrees E. If the wind is 35 MPH in direction of N 30 degrees E, find groundspeed and direction of plane.
Homework Equations
[[v]]([cos theta], [sin theta])
The Attempt at a Solution
430(cos 315,sin315)+35(cos30,sin30)=?<334.4,-286.6>
[[v]]=?~440..
Back of book says that the ground speed is 422.3.. and if i go the vector wrong, that means magnitude and direction will be wrong also.. Where did I go wrong?
