Answer:
1199 miles
Explanation:
1 hour 30 minutes = 1 + 30/60 = 1.5 hours
2 hours 15 minutes = 2 + 15/60 = 2.25 hours
The distance she flew in the 1st segment is:
1.5*345 = 517.5 miles
The distance she flew in the 2nd segment is:
2.25 * 345 = 776.25 miles
Since the 2nd segment is 45 degree with respect to the 1st segment, this means that she has flown
776.25 * cos(45) = 549 miles in-line with the 1st segment and
776.25* sin(45) = 549 miles perpendicular to the 1st segment:
So the distance from the end to her starting position is
