To find the south and west distances from the home base, we can use trigonometry. The southward (y) component can be calculated as (1500 \times \sin(247^\circ)), which is approximately 1210.5 km south. The westward (x) component is (1500 \times \cos(247^\circ)), resulting in approximately 866.0 km west. Thus, the plane is about 1210.5 km south and 866.0 km west of its home base.

What compass bearing is south?
The definition of a true compass bearing - A true bearing is measured in relation to the fixed horizontal reference plane of True North, that is using the direction towards the geographic North Pole as a reference point.
Is the south pole located at 90 degrees south latitude?
No. North Pole is 90 degrees north latitude.
What compass bearing?
Heading indicates the direction the ship/aircraft/vehicle you are in is moving toward. Bearing is normally used to indicate the direction something else is relative to you. The ship was heading 085 and maintaining a station on the carrier at two miles and a bearing of 200 from the carrier. This is often the case where a ship or airplane is "pointed" on a bearing across the wind or current and "moving" on a heading that is the natural consequence of the combined forces on the hull.
What is the total number of degress north and south of the Equator?
There is 180 degrees of separation, from 90 degrees north (North Pole) to 90 degrees south (South Pole). The North and South Pole are points (the geographic ends of the Earth's axis) and are on all planes perpendicular to the equatorial plane.
When an airplane takes off from a location at 17 degrees south latitude and flies to a mew location 55 degrees due north of its starting point.what latitude has the airplane reached?
When the airplane takes off from 17 degrees south latitude and flies 55 degrees due north, it first crosses the equator (0 degrees latitude) and continues northward. Since it starts at 17 degrees south and moves 17 degrees to reach the equator, it has 38 degrees left to travel north (55 - 17 = 38). Therefore, the airplane reaches a latitude of 38 degrees north.
What compass bearing is south?
The definition of a true compass bearing - A true bearing is measured in relation to the fixed horizontal reference plane of True North, that is using the direction towards the geographic North Pole as a reference point.
What is the compass bearing of sun rise in South Carolina?
The compass bearing of south is 180 degrees
What compass bearing in South?
180 degrees
What 3-figure bearing represents the direction SSW?
The direction SSW (South-Southwest) is represented by a 3-figure bearing of 202 degrees. This bearing indicates a direction that is halfway between south (180 degrees) and southwest (225 degrees), specifically 22.5 degrees west of south.
What is the bearing of southeast?
The bearing of southeast is 135 degrees on a compass. Bearings are measured clockwise from true north, where north is 0 degrees, east is 90 degrees, south is 180 degrees, and west is 270 degrees. Therefore, southeast lies exactly halfway between south and east.
What is a reduced bearing?
-Reduced bearing use degrees as measurement unit. -Read from the north or the south towards the east or the west.
What direction on a compass has a bearing of 450?
A bearing of 450 degrees on a compass corresponds to due east. In compass bearings, 0 degrees represents north, 90 degrees represents east, 180 degrees represents south, and 270 degrees represents west. Therefore, a bearing of 450 degrees would be 90 degrees past due east.
A plane leaves Seattle flies 85 miles at 20 degrees north of east and then changes direction to 52 degrees south of east after flying at 117 miles in this new direction what direction should they fly?

What is the constant bearing value for due west?
North is 0 degrees, east is 90 degrees, south is 180 degrees, and west is 270 degrees.
What are the examples of bearings in trigonometry?
BEARING 1. A, B and C are three ships. The bearing of A from B is 045º. The bearing of C from A is 135º. If AB= 8km and AC= 6km, what is the bearing of B from C? 2. A helicopter pilot flies in the direction 147 degrees and lands when she is 12 km south of her starting point. How far did she fly?
What direction is being traveled if you are bearing 140?
Azimuth 140 degrees (true) is 40 degrees east of south, or pretty close to southeast.(Southeast is exactly 135 degrees true.)
How do you take a bearing?
You take a bearing by pointing your compass at the target (or direction you want to go) and reading the number on the compass. There are 360 degrees in a circle, with East being at 90 degrees, South-East being 135 degrees, South being 180, West 270, North 360 (or zero) and etc. etc.
