An airplane leaves City A and flies for 4 hours and 45 minutes at a speed of 800 km/hour in an easterly direction. To reach City B, it turns 62° left and flies at a speed of only 600 km/hour for 30 minutes. a) Sketch a diagram to represent this situation. b) What is the distance between the two cities?
