Answer:
about 0.7 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
When you draw a diagram of the problem, you see that the shortest distance back to the course is the distance traveled times the sine of the angle:
distance off course = (14 mi/h)×(2 h)×sin(1.4°) ≈ 0.684 mi
The ship is about 0.7 miles from its intended course.
