Answer:

<em>Direction of the boat is 43.05° and the speed is 21.66 knot</em>

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

yacht speed = 20 knots

yacht bearing = 185° = 85°  below the negative horizontal x-axis

wind speed = 15 knots

wind bearing = 290° = 20° above the negative horizontal x-axis

we find the x and y components of the boat velocities

for yacht,

x component = -20 cos 85° = -1.74 knots

y component = -20 sin 85° = -19.92 knots

for the wind,

x component = -15 cos 20° = -14.09 knots

y component = 15 sin 20° = 5.13 knots

total x component  Vx = -1.74 + (-14.09) = -15.83 knots

total y component Vy =  -19.92 + 5.13 = -14.79 knots

Resultant speed of the boat = \sqrt{Vx^{2} + Vy^{2}  }

==> \sqrt{15.83^{2} + 14.79^{2}  } = <em>21.66 knot</em>

<em></em>

direction of boat = tan^{-1} \frac{Vy}{Vx}

==> tan^{-1} \frac{14.79}{15.83} = <em>43.05°</em>
