A 200-m-wide river has a uniform flow speed of 1.1 m/s through a jungle and towards the east. An expoere wishes to leave a small clearing on the south band and cross the river in a powerboat that moves at a constant speed of 4 m/s with respect to the water. There is a clearing on the north band 82 m upstream from a point directly opposite the clearing on the south bank. (a) In what direction must the boat be pointed to travel in a straight line and land in the clearing. (b) How long will the boat take to cross the river?
I've done tons of things to try to solve this from pathagreon theorem to sines and cosines and I cannot solve this for the life of me. Please help.
