IMO the figure towards the right is the correct one
In the figure to the left , Q is not to the east of P . It is "north-east" of P !
We aren't supposed to consider that..

There are 2 ways to draw this PIC!

IMO both are wrong. PQ is a straight line. PR is also a straight line (R is the bottom point, P is the top point) and QR is the hypotenuse.
The best way to do it is keep point P stagnant, and make the other points revolve around it.
PQ = x
PR = y
QR = sqrt(x^2 + y^2)
You are driving QR and then PR which gives
sqrt(x^2 + y^2) + y
divide by z and you get your hours.

You got a dream... You gotta protect it. People can't do somethin' themselves, they wanna tell you you can't do it. If you want somethin', go get it. Period.
No, your east is right (in the second pic).
Its the north thats wrong. R is directly below P. Another version of saying is you are going south from P to R.
Points R and Q are connected by the hypotenuse.
-Hope that made sense.

OOh yeah I kept reading as P is y miles due north of R.
IMO your second diagram is right then. I agree with raghavsarathy then.
