You are the navigator of a plane. To get where you are now you went north from the airport for 120 miles then the plane made a 75 degree turn towards the east and went 200 miles more. As the navigator you need to plot a straight line path for the pilot to return to the airport. How far are you from where you started and how long will it take you to get home at 135 miles per hour? How long would it take if there was a 20 mile per hour head wind?
