The airplane traveling from Denver to Pasco should detour around the storm in Rocky Mountains. Pilot travels 580 miles at the compass bearing of N35° W and then travels 344 miles at the bearing of W 5° S.
• State each leg of trip with components of the vector in standard position
• Determine resultant of these 2 vectors
Use resultant to compute:
1) How far is Denver from Tricities?
2) What compass bearing will take pilot directly from Denver to Tricities?
