Question

To avoid a storm, a pilot leaves airport A and flies at a bearing of 172°. He travels for one
and one-half hours at a speed of 650 mph. At the end of the one and one-half hours, the pilot
changes direction and flies at a bearing of 68° for two hours at the same speed. At the end of
the two hours, he is at point B, and is now able to continue with a normal flight plan since he
has passed the storm. If there had been no storm, the pilot would have flown directly from
Airport A to point B.
How much further did the plane have to travel because of the storm?
b. What is the bearing of the normal flight plan (from A to B)?
