(a) In flying the 77 miles from Champaign to Peoria, a student pilot sets a heading that is 10° off course and maintains an average speed of 96 miles per hour. After 15 minutes, the instructor notices the course error and tells the student to correct his heading. Through what angle will the plane move to correct the heading?   (b) How many miles away is Peoria when the plane turns?
