Hi,

Im stuck in one of the problems in my trig. book and i think i need help in the entire problem bc i dont know where my mistake is.

attached is a picture of the textbook question, but ill write it here as well.

19. Distance flown by a Plane. A plane flies 1.3 hr at 110 mph on a bearing of 38°. It then turns and flies 1.5hr at the same speed on a bearing of 128°. How far is the plane from its starting point?

Ill also attach a picture of what I worked on but im sure its wrong. I checked in the back of the book and the answer should be 220 mi but i have no idea how they got that answer.

please help!!

thank you!
