The bearing of a lighthouse 19.2km from a boat sailing due west is N35°15'W. At the end of 3hours the boat is directly south of the lighthouse. What is the speed of the boat? Answer by KMST(5328) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Since 15'= , 35°15'=
The boat goes from point A to point B in 3 hours
The right triangle in the illustration tells us that the distance from A to B is .
That makes the speed of the boat (rounded).
