A pilot flies in a straight path for 1h 30 min. She then makes a course correction, heading 11 degrees to the right of her original course, and flies 2 h in the new direction. If she maintains a constant speed of 625 mi/h, how far is she from her starting position? (Round your answer to the nearest mile.)
