The helicopter flew south in a horizontal flight for 12 km, then turned strictly to the east and flew another 16 km. Find the path and move the helicopter.

To find the values of the path and movement of the specified helicopter, we will use the formulas: L = Sу + Sv and S = √ (Sу ^ 2 + Sv ^ 2).

Variables: Sy is the distance that the specified helicopter flew to the south (Sy = 12 km); Sв – the distance traveled after turning to the east (Sв = 16 km).

Calculation: a) The path of the helicopter: L = Sy + Sv = 12 + 16 = 28 km;

b) Moving the specified helicopter: S = √ (Sy ^ 2 + Sv ^ 2) = √ (12 ^ 2 + 16 ^ 2) = 20 km.

Answer: The specified helicopter covered a distance of 28 km and moved 20 km.
