Answer: 149.5 degrees.

Solution : The graph that illustrates the given scenario is as follows :

• From the diagram above, the angel of the the plane’s resultant vector will be calculated as follows .

Tan Θ = opposite /adjacent = y/x

Θ = tan ^-1(452 /767)

= 30.5 degrees

• Take note that our angle theta is in quadrant (II)

Therefore ,

resultant vectors angle = 180 degree - 30.5 degrees

=149.5 degrees
