In summary, a plane traveling from Galisto airport flew 180 km at 68.0 degrees east of north, then changed direction to fly 260 km at 48.0 degrees south of east before making an emergency landing in a pasture. The attempt at a solution involved using trigonometry to find the angles, but was limited by only having knowledge of the two given sides. The trip can be broken down into two parts, with North-South and East-West components, which can be added separately to locate the plane.

Homework Statement


A plane leaves the airport in Galisto and flies 180 km at 68.0 (degrees) east of north and then changes direction to fly 260 km at 48.0 (degrees) south of east, after which it makes an immediate emergency landing in a pasture.


Homework Equations


Trig equations?


The Attempt at a Solution


Well I tried to use trigonometry to find any of the angles, but where I get stuck is, I only know the 2 given sides, that's about it.

The first part of the trip will have a North-South Component [going North] and an East-West component [going East]
The second part will had a North-South Component [going South] and an East-West Component [going East]
Add the components separately [who knows, the North-South Components might actually cancel out] to get two over-all components from which you can locate the plane.
