A car and a small plane travel from the same starting point to the same destination by different routes. The plane travels in a straight line for 65 minutes at an average speed of 250mph (1m/s = 2.24mph). The car travels 370 miles along a route that goes due south and then due west, further west than south. If the plane traveled in a straight line, at what angle south of west did it travel?
I know I have to use the pythagorean theorem (at least i think so)
but I just can't get it set up right.
