q an airplane takes off from the only airstrip in


Q. An airplane takes off from the only airstrip in a remote area of Canada, flies 68.0° north of east for 177 km, then turns and flies 75° west of north for 134 km. A fuel leak is discovered at this point, and crew calculates that the plane can safely fly no more than 170 km before an emergency landing should be attempted. The only appropriate location for an emergency landing is 100 km north of their current position, though this still involves significant risk to the crew. Should they attempt to return to the airstrip, or head north for an emergency landing?
