Question

what's the bearing 0 degrees the blue team should use to find this alternate checkpoint? Round your answer to two decimals places.

Answer 1

6 Miles north and 4 miles west

Keep in mind that when you know the horizontal and vertical components of a vector, you can use the tangent to find the angle because

$\begin{gathered} \tan \theta=\frac{y}{x} \\ \theta=\tan ^{-1}(\frac{y}{x}) \\ \theta=\tan ^{-1}(\frac{6}{-4}) \\ \theta=56.31 \end{gathered}$

The angle would be 56.31
