Answer 2

5.8 mi; 31° east of north

Answer 3

distance is AB.
use pythag method to calculate AB
i.e.

AB =
52+32−−−−−−√=34−−√=5.8309518948453004708741528775456
rounded to 5.8
use trig function to get that angle.

opposie/adjacent = tan(x)
i.e. tan(x) = 3/5 = 0.6
x = arctan(3/5) = 30.9637565321 rounded to 31
Hence tha above answer.

Let me know if that is correct.
