<PRE><B>Question 824517</B>
 an airplane has a speed of 325 miles per hour in still air. if the plane flies directly south and encounters a 40 mph wind blowing directly east, what is the resultant speed of the airplane.
------
In one hour the distance traveled will be::
---------------------
distance = sqrt[325^2+40^2] = 327.45 miles
----
rate = 327.45 mph
