Application of Vectors - Airplane and Wind Speed

The answer is incorrect. -325 + 55 cos 20 = -273.3 and 55 sin 20 = 18.8. Resultant is 274 mph at W4N. Your calculator was set to radians instead of degrees, hence the incorrect answer.

You’re right. But that’s why pilots keep track of real-time numbers. 😊 PS Even NASA lost an expensive Mars satellite because they confused units. I think between Joules and Newtons.
