Sure, here is a diagram of a plane flying on a bearing of 140 degrees for 90km:

The distance traveled south is 60km and the distance traveled east is 53.5km.

To calculate the distance traveled south, we can use the following formula:

distance = (90km * sin(140 degrees)) / 180 degrees

Use code with caution. Learn more

This gives us a distance of 60km.

To calculate the distance traveled east, we can use the following formula:

distance = (90km * cos(140 degrees)) / 180 degrees

Use code with caution. Learn more

This gives us a distance of 53.5km.
