Example Question #1 : Trigonometry

A plane flies  degrees north of east for  miles.  It then turns and flies  degrees south of east for  miles.  Approximately how many miles is the plane from its starting point?  (Ignore the curvature of the Earth.)

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The plane flies two sides of a triangle.  The angle formed between the two sides is 40 degrees.  In a Side-Angle-Side situation, it is appropriate to employ the use of the Law of Cosines.
