To determine the distance from the starting point, we first calculate the distances traveled in each direction. The boat traveled 36 km north (12 km/h × 3 h) and 36 km east (18 km/h × 2 h). Using the Pythagorean theorem, the distance from the starting point is √(36² + 36²) = √(1296 + 1296) = √2592, which is approximately 50.91 km. Thus, the boat is about 50.91 km from the starting point.
