Question

A plane travels 20 degrees east of south what is its compass heading?

Answer 1

The compass heading of the plane is 200 degrees.

To solve this problem

The compass heading is then calculated by adding this angle to the 180-degree south direction when an aircraft travels 20 degrees east of south.

Starting from the south (180 degrees), we add 20 degrees:

180 degrees + 20 degrees = 200 degrees

Therefore, the compass heading of the plane is 200 degrees.

Answer 2

`\begin{gathered} \text{south}=\text{ 270 \degree} \\ 20\text{ \degree east of south} \\ \text{Angle =270\degree+20\degree=290\degree} \\ Th\text{e compass heading is 290\degree} \end{gathered}`
