Problem 34
Navigation A pilot is flying from city \(A\) to city \(B,\) which is 85 mi due north. After flying 20 \(\mathrm{mi}\) , the pilot must change course and fly \(10^{\circ}\) east of north to avoid a cloudbank. a. If the pilot remains on this course for \(20 \mathrm{mi},\) how far will the plane be from city \(\mathrm{B} ?\) b. How many degrees will the pilot have to turn to the left to fly directly to city B? How many degrees from due north is this course?
