The flight path of a plane is a straight line from city J to city K. The roads from city J to city K run 9.4 miles south and then 15.1 miles east. How many degrees east of south is the plane's flight path, to the nearest tenth?

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]tan\theta =15.1/9.4\\ \\ \theta =tan^{-1}(15.1/9.4)\\ \\ \theta \approx 58.1^o[/tex]
