Answer:

2 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

time = distance / speed

Let c represent the rate of the current. Then the upstream rate of the boat relative to the shore is (5c -c) = 4c, and the <em>upstream time</em> is ...

... 12/(4c) = 3/c.

Likewise, the downstream rate is (5c +c) = 6c, and the <em>downstream time</em> is ...

... 12/(6c) = 2/c.

The <em>total time</em> is the sum of upstream and downstream times:

... 3/c +2/c = 2.5

... 5/c = 2.5 . . . . . . combine terms

... 5/2.5 = c = 2 . . . multiply by c/2.5

Hello!

Let O be the center of the sphere, A the tangency point and B the location of the satellite.

m<ABO = 1/2m(b) = 1/2 * 138 = 69

m<OAB = 90

m<AOB = 180 - 90 - 69 = 21

21 * 2 = 42

The answer is 42°

Hope this helps!
