To prepare for Exercises 43 and $44,$ use the volume formulas below to solve Exercises $39-42 .$ Remember, volume is measured in cubic units. Amelia Earhart was the first woman to fly solo nonstop coast to coast, setting the women's nonstop transcontinental speed record. She traveled 2447.8 miles in 19 hours 5 minutes. Find the average speed of her flight in miles per hour. (Change 19 hours 5 minutes into hours and use the formula $d=r t .$ ) Round to the nearest tenth of a mile per hour.

A pilot flies in a straight path for 1 hour $30 \mathrm{~min}$. She then makes a course correction, heading 10 degrees to the right of her original course, and flies 2 hours in the new direction. If she maintains a constant speed of 680 miles per hour, how far is she from her starting position?
