Asked by Mike

A boat travels 9 km due south and then 7 km due west. What angle should the boat make with the north line to return to the base (see figure to the right)?
Answered by Damon
tan (angle W of S) = 7/9
so went outbound 37.9 deg west of south
so
steer 37.9 degrees East of North to get back
