5. A motorized sailboat leaves Naples, Florida, bound for Key West, 150 miles away. Maintaining a constant speed of 15 miles per hour, but encountering heavy crosswinds and strong currents, the crew finds, after 4 hours, that the sailboat is off course by 20 degrees. Begin by drawing a figure to represent this situation. (a) How far is the sailboat from Key West at this time? (b) Through what angle should the sailboat turn to correct its course? (c) How much time has been added to the trip because of this? (Assume the speed remains 15 mph)
