Question 288407: A jet is flying at a speed of 526 miles per hour. The pilot encounters turbulence due to a 50-mile-per-hour wind blowing at an angle of 47°, as shown in the accompanying diagram.
Find the resultant speed of the jet, to the nearest tenth of a mile per hour.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Is the wind a quartering headwind?
Or a quartering tailwind?
