An airplane has an airspeed of
bearing
.
Therefore, the velocity of the airplane relative to the air is
.


.
The velocity of the wind
has magnitude
bearing
.
Therefore, the wind velocity
in terms of
and
as 

.
Find the velocity of the plane relative to the ground.
\The velocity of the plane relative to the ground
is
.
Substitute
and
.

.
Find the actual speed and direction of the plane relative to the ground.
\The velocity relative to the ground is
.
\
\
The standard form of the vector is Compare the vector with general form.
.
.
\
\
Magnitude of the vector
is
.
\
\

\
\
The direction angle is 
.
Substitute
.


The angle is
.
Therefore, the direction angle is
.
The vector path of the plane relative to the ground is
.
\
\
The ground speed of the plane is 
The direction angle is
.
