Problem
Hint:A pilot is flying at 168 mph. She wants her flight path to be on a bearing of 57 degrees and 40 minutes. A wind is blowing from the South at 27.1 mph. Find the bearing the pilot should fly, and find the plane's ground speed.
Can you use the Law of Cosines to solve for x?
Then, use Law of Sines to solve for the angle at A.
The angle at B is 57 degrees and 40 minutes.
