Draw a pair of intersecting horizontal and vertical lines, and label north, east, south, and west. Sketch the path of a plane flying on a bearing of 30°.
a. What is the measure of the angle between the plane's path and the horizontal axis?
b. Choose any point along the plane's path. From this point, draw a segment perpendicular to the horizontal axis to create a right triangle. Label the length of the horizontal leg, x, and the vertical leg, y.
c. The plane flies 180 mi/h for 2 h. How far east and how far north does it travel?
