The boat has a speed b/w 23 ft/sec in still water. It is supposed to cross a 360-ft wide river from
point A to point B, which is located at a distance of AB 520 ft from A, on a straight line. If the
9 ft/sec, determine the speed vɩ of the boat, the direction angle
which the boat should take to stay on line AB, and the time needed to make the crossing. (v = 15.6

Direction: Read the situation and answer the guide questions below to help Juanita and Mario determine who walks faster.
Just yesterday Juanita and Mario were given assignments to record the measured distance and time spent in walking from their home to the school.Mario’s home is 400 meters while Juanita is 200 meters away from the school. It took 400 seconds for Juanita while Mario needed 200 seconds to reach the school.Guide Questions1. At constant distance,how is speed related to the time of travel?2. At constant time to travel,how is speed related to the distance travelled?3. Who was travelling faster than the other, Juanita or Mario? Why?
