Bearing Question (1 Viewer)

Hello All...

Can someone please help me with this question? I've tried to do it several times without avail...

Q. A plane leaves Adelaide and flies for 875km on a bearing of 056 degrees. It then turns and flies on a bearing of theta for 630km until it is due east of Adelaide. Evaluate theta to the nearest degree.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Thanks heaps... That's awesome, I understand it... My problem was 'flies on a bearing of theta' - I wasn't using theta as a bearing...

(BTW - Your writing is very neat)
