Question 720985: A pilot, attempting to fly from Middletown to Westburg, a distance of 200 miles, notices after flying 180 miles that Westburg is still 35 miles away because the heading was off by a few degrees. How many degress was the heading off the desired course (to one decimal place)? Please help, I am completely lost on this one.
