A ship leaves port at 7 am and heads due east at 34 knots. At 10 am, to avoid a storm the ship changes course to N 57° east of north). Find the ships distance from port at 2 pm. Round to the nearest tenth.
To determine nautical miles multiply the speed in knots by the number of hours.
(ex. 10knots in 2hrs would be;
10knots x 2hrs = 20 nautical miles.)
