The  total distance it flies, rounded to the nearest mile is: d. 1,692 miles .

Total distance

First distance= 550 miles (given)

Second distance=483 miles (given)

Now let find the third distance

Let x represent the third distance

Hence:

x/sin79 = 550/sin55

x= 659.1

Now let calculate the total distance

Total distance=550+483+659.1

Total distance= 1692.1

Total distance= 1692 miles (rounded)

Therefore the correct option is d.
