Thanks but i want the explanation...the answers are their at the bak of the bk...but how??

plz draw the diagram wid necessary calculations and scan it up if u can...plzz..

i resolved the 400km and 700km into the vertical and horizontal components separately
the vertical comp. of 400 is 400sin65
horizontal is 400cos65
the same to 700 km
in the end i drew a triangle with the final results to find the hypotenuse and the angle
