Starting at the island of Moi in an unknown archipelago, a fishing boat makes a round trip with two stops at the islands of Noi and Poi. It sails from Moi for 4.76 nautical miles (nmi) in a direction 37 north of east to Noi. From Noi, it sails 69 west of north to Poi. On its return leg from Poi, it sails 28 east of south. What distance does the boat sail between Noi and Poi? What distance does it sail between Moi and Poi? Express your answer both in nautical miles and in kilometei. Note: 1 nmi = 1852m.
