Question
A pilot flies in a straight path for 1 h 30 min. She then makes a course correction, heading 10 degrees to the right of her original course, and flies 2 h in the new direction. If she maintains a constant speed of 670 mi/h, how far is she from her starting position?
Round all answers to 3 decimal places.
Distance from start = mi
