Mr. Morales is excited to go with Bob the Bear on a vacation to Hawaii! They pack all their favorite things, leave their worries behind, and prepare for takeoff. The pilot says they need to fly 3,526 miles before the plane can land and that the total flight time will be 8 hours. Mr. Morales and Bob get out their snacks, a chess board and turn up some good music so that they can keep themselves busy until they arrive. (1 mile = 1609 meters) (1 hour = 3600 seconds) (Make sure to convert everything to Kilograms, meters and seconds .

Final answer:

The boat traveled approximately 4.05 nautical miles or 7.52 kilometers between Noi and Poi, and approximately 8.81 nautical miles or 16.31 kilometers between Moi and Poi.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the distance between Noi and Poi, we need to find the component of the boat's displacement in the north-south direction. Using trigonometry, we can calculate that the boat traveled 4.76 * sin(69°) in the northward direction from Noi to Poi. This distance is approximately 4.05 nautical miles or 7.52 kilometers. To find the total distance traveled between Moi and Poi, we can add the distances traveled in the northward and southward directions. The boat traveled 4.76 + 4.05 = 8.81 nautical miles or 16.31 kilometers between Moi and Poi.
