a) vx=487 km/h Westv_x = 487 \textrm{ km/h West}
vy=550 km/h Northv_y = 550 \textrm{ km/h North}
b) dx=1.46×103 km Westd_x = 1.46 \times 10^3 \textrm{ km West}
dy=1.65×103 km Northd_y = 1.65 \times 10^3 \textrm{ km North}

Hi on pg. 64 Summary it states V of x= V cos⊖ and V of y= V sin⊖....that would mean that north = 487.02 and west = 550.48???

Hi 1koriz, that's good, since it's always useful to see multiple different ways of doing the same thing. On the one hand, you get to choose which way works best for you, and on the other hand you probably develop a better understanding of the problem by seeing it from different perspectives.
