Moana is a sailing from her home to a nearby island which is 215 miles north and 33 miles west. There is a constant ocean current of 0.50 knots moving from west to east. Moana can sail her boat at a cruising speed of 5.5 miles per hour in still water.

1. What angle should Moana sail to get to the island?

2. How long will it take her to get there?

3. Moana’s friend Maui is floating on a raft that is moving with the ocean current (meaning, he is not traveling with respect to the water). Would Maui see Moana’s boat traveling with a speed faster than, slower than, or equal to what an observer standing on the shore would see? Explain your reasoning
