The red lines are tracing the rowing and walking to get to other side.
dR = distance rowed
dw = distance walked
x = the angle in which to start rowing initially
dR can be found by using Law of cosines

dw is arc length, which is just radius*arc

next we need t set up a function for Time in terms of x.
This is so we can minimize the time it takes to get to other side.
Time = distance/rate

Finally, take derivative and set equal to 0
Once you solve for x, plug it back into Time function to obtain final answer.
Since 8 and 20 both have a common factor, which is 4, you divide both of them. 8/4=2 and 20/4=5
12 2/5
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
divide by 2 and you will have your answer
