The bearing from City A to City B is Upper N 41 degrees Upper E. The bearing from City B to City C is Upper S 49 degrees Upper E. An automobile driven at 65 mph takes 1.4 hours to drive from City A to City B and takes 1.6 hours to drive from City B to City C. Find the distance from City A to City C.​ (Neglect the curvature of the​ earth.)\r
