For pilots a flight direction (heading) is indicated by an angle associated with the compass rose (circle) where North is 000, East is 090, South is 180, West is 270 and North is also 360. A student pilot takes off from Lincoln Nebraska and flies 147 km on a heading of 085 to Clarinda Iowa. Then she flies from Clarinda to St. Joseph Missouri 106 km on a heading of 167. Finally, she flies from St. Joseph to Manhattan Kansas 166km on a heading of 235. She thinks Kansas is boring, so how far and with what heading must she fly to return to Lincoln?
