Answer:
Eastward distance of airplane = 903 miles
Northward distance of airplane = 1198 miles
Explanation:
Consider the sketch attached below.
Let the Eastward distance be represented by x
let the Northward distance be represerted by y
The distance traveled = speed of plane x time
= 600 x 2.5 = 1500 miles
from basic trigonometry of a right angled triangle we have that




∴ Northward distance = 1198 miles
Eastward distance =903 miles
