Since 15'=\"%2815%2F60%29%5Eo=0.25%5Eo\" , 35°15'=\"35.25%5Eo\"
\n" ); document.write( "The boat goes from point A to point B in 3 hours
\n" ); document.write( "The right triangle in the illustration tells us that the distance from A to B is
\n" ); document.write( "\"%2819.2km%29%2Asin%2835.25%5Eo%29=about11.08km\" .
\n" ); document.write( "That makes the speed of the boat
\n" ); document.write( "\"11.08km%2F%223+hours%22=3.7\"\"%22km+%2F+h%22\" (rounded).
