Question

I already have the north and west components: 625.4km/h and 553 km/h for north and west respectivly, I'm just unsure on how to go about getting the distance..

make a displacement vector d=vt , d=(835km/hr)(2.5hr)=2087.5 km @ 41.5 degs. then do the same thing you did with the velocity components.
