Question

A flock of ducks is trying to migrate south for the winter, but they keep being blown off course by a wind blowing from the west at 6.0 m/s. a wise elder duck finally realizes that the solution is to fly at an angle to the wind. if the ducks can fly at 8.5 m/s relative to the air, what direction should they head in order to move directly south?

Answer 1

I googled your question and found the answer. However, the googled response has 8 instead of 8.5 so you'll need to make the adjustments. The answer on jiskha.com gives a step by step explanation
