An airplane takes off from an airfield and flies 30deg North of West. It flies at a constant speed of 300 knots. It maintains this course for 35 minutes. This is leg number 1. At the end of this time, it flies in a direction directly East for 50 minutes. This is leg number two. It turns towards the south in a direction of 85deg South of East. It continues on this course at a constant speed of 300 knots for 37 minutes. This is leg number three. It landed at an airport after this times.

a) calculate the distance in nautical miles that the airplane flies for leg number one B) ...for leg number two C) ... for leg number three.

Please show work :) I'm trying to figure it out and need to know where I'm going wrong. Maybe I drew my cartesian plane is incorrectly? Should it be a triangle? Thanks!
