Another math question involving a boat and degrees.?

[Skipper]

If a boat has been traveling for 2 hrs at a speed of 35 mph at 91.40 degrees. How many miles south is it?

 

[bestanswer]

2 x 35 x sin 1.4 =1.71 miles south

south of what? the question is not clear.

If it is traveling 91.4 degrees off the x axis, which is usually how angles are measured in trig, then it would be 35*sin(91.4) degrees north of its original position, but I am not sure about the question
