FAN & MEDAL:

TRIG (LAW OF COSINES): In aerial navigation, directions are given in degrees clockwise from north. Thus, east is 90°, south is 180°, and so on. A plane leaves South Bend for Buffalo, 400 miles away, intending to fly a straight course in the direction 70°. After flying 180 miles, the pilot realizes that an error has been made and that he has actually been flying in the direction 41°.
