Starting at the island of Moi in an unknown archipelago, a fishing boat makes a round trip with two stops at the islands of Noi and Poi. It sails from Moi for 4.76 nautical miles (nmi) in a direction 37 ° north of east to Noi. From Noi, it sails 69 ° west of north to Poi. On its return leg from Poi, it sails 28 ° east of south. What distance does the boat sail between Noi and Poi? What distance does it sail between Moi and Poi? Express your answer both in nautical miles and in kilometei. Note: 1 nmi = 1852m.

A commuter airplane starts from an airport and takes the route shown in Figure P3.17. The plane first flies to city A, located 175 km away in a direction 30.0° north of east. Next, it flies for 150
km 20.0° west of north to city B. Finally, the plane flies 190 km due west, to city C. Find the location of city C relative to the location of the starting point.
