We Know, speed = Distance / Time
Here, Distance = 2748 miles
Time = 6 hours
Substitute their values in to the expression,
Speed = 2748 / 6 = 458 Miles / Hour
So, the speed would be: 458 miles/hour
Hope this helps!
Knowing that cos(45°) = 1/√2 is the way forward.

The last step in the equation may not be obious, but the trick here is to multiple numerator and denominator with (1-√2), then the denominator has the special product (a+b)(a-b) = a²-b².
Is there a picture of the problem I can help
