You can put this solution on YOUR website! An airplane flies due north a certain number of miles. The plane then flies due east three times as far. Find the approximate bearing of the plane from its starting point.
-----------------
The tangent of the angle between North and the line from the plane to the starting point is 3.
Angle =~ 72 degs
--> bearing of 072.
