A plane is flying at 100 mi/h on a bearing of 60°.
a. Draw a diagram of the motion. Draw a segment perpendicular to the x-axis to create a right triangle. Write equations for x and y, in terms of t, to model the motion.
b. What range of t is required to display 500 mi of plane travel? (Assume t represents time in hours.)
c. Explain the real-world meaning of the numbers and variables you used in your equations.
