A barge is adrift. Two tug boats attach cables to the barge to tow it to safety. The figure is provided. Barge 7 mph 25° resultant speed: 6 mph Tug 2 Tug 1 Tug 1 pulls due east at a speed of 6 miles per hour. Tug 2 pulls 25° north of east at a speed of 7 miles per hour. What are the resultant speed and direction of the barge? (Use decimal notation. Give your answer for the barge's speed to two decimal places. Give your answer for the direction of the barge to the nearest degree. Include the degree symbol in your answer where needed.) mph resultant direction: north of east
