Question 836042: The following diagram shows a river with parallel banks. The river is 40 m wide
and is flowing with a speed of 1.8 m/s. A canoe travels in a straight
line from P on one bank to Q on the opposite bank 70 m downstream
from P. Given that the canoe takes 12 s to travel from P to Q,
calculate the speed of the canoe in still water and the angle to the
bank that the canoe was steered. [ plz note that QR is perpendicular
to
PR, i have not shown in the above diagram sorry for that)
