Answer:

  1386 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The plane flies ...

  (150 mi/h)(1.6 h) = 240 mi

on its first leg. Then it flies ...

  (150 mi/h)(9.1 h) = 1365 mi

on the second leg. The flight directions differ by 90°, so the distance from the starting point can be found using the Pythagorean theorem.

  c² = 240² +1395² = 1920825

  c = √1920825 ≈ 1385.94

The plane is about 1386 miles from its starting point.
