Question 1196359: The Sea Kayak Problem: Brooke is located 5 miles out from the nearest point A along a straight shoreline in her sea kayak. Hunger strikes and she wants to make it to Kono’s for lunch; see picture. Brook can paddle 2 mph and walk 4 mph.
a) Determine the total time to reach Kono’s if she paddles directly to the point A and then travels overland.
b) Determine the total time to reach Kono’s if she paddles directly to Kono’s.
c) Determine the total time to reach Kono’s if she paddles directly to a point on the shore half way between point A and Kono’s. How does this time compare to the times in parts (a) and (b)?
d) If she paddles straight to a point on shore that is x miles from point A, find an expression in terms of x that computes the total time to reach to reach Kono’s.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To be complete, the post must inform about location of Kono.
Probably, this info is seen from the picture, but we, the tutors, HAVE NO this info,
since the picture is not attached and is not referred.
Thus the post does not provide all necessary info, and, due to this reason, the problem can not be solved
and your questions can not be answered.
We only can calculate the travel time to the nearest point A in the shoreline.
This travel time is  = 2.5 hours = 2 hours 30 minutes.
Be more attentive next time, when you post to this forum.
Remember that we, the tutors, read your posts much more attentively than you do it.
As to me, I think that you do not read your posts at all, been so busy with copying and pasting.
