Step-by-step solution
3 stepsDetermine the initial direction in degrees.
- North is 0° (or 360°).
- East is 90°.
- North-easterly is exactly halfway between North and East.
- Initial course = (0° + 90°)/2 = 45°.
Calculate the new course after turning right angle to the right.
- A "right angle" is 90°.
- "To the right" means turning clockwise, so we add 90° to the current course.
- New course = 45° + 90° = 135°.
Convert the new course in degrees back to a cardinal direction.
- 135° is exactly halfway between East (90°) and South (180°).
- Therefore, the new course is South Easterly.
The aircraft's new course is South Easterly.
