     An airplane flies 165 miles from point A in the direction 130 degree and then travels in the direction 245 degree for 65 miles. Approximately how far is the airplane from A? The choices have been rounded to the nearest integer.  156 mi  147 mi  148 mi  150 mi 
  
  Solution
Distance would be :x= ( 165x165+65x65-3x65x165xcos(65))^0.5
= (22384.4 )^0.5 = 149.6147 = 150 miles
