A motorboat velocity is 20 km/h in still water. If the boat must travel straight to the nearest shore in a river whose current is 12 km/h, What up stream angle must the bow boat point at? (hints:you know the opposite and resultant sides of your right triangle here).

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -When an object, say, a boat, travels at a certain velocity, and the medium through which it travels, say, a river, has its own velocity, we can find the resultant velocity of the object by adding the two velocities.
Detailed explanation-2: -In which direction should the motorboat head in order to reach a point on the opposite bank directly east from the starting point? (The boat’s speed relative to the water remains 4.50) answer needs to be in degrees north of east.
