Answer:

492

Explanation:

The triangle formed by the upper vertex and AB is similar to the triangle formed by the upper vertex and the lower vertices; therefore,

[tex]\frac{1092}{984}=\frac{546}{AB}[/tex]

Note that in the above 1092 is the Miami-Bermuda distance, 984 is san Juan - Bermuda distance, and 546 is 1092/2 or Miami - B distance.

Cross multipication gives

[tex]1092\cdot AB=984\cdot546[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 1092 gives

[tex]AB=492[/tex]

which is our answer!
