A man who can row in still water at 5 miles per hour heads directly across a river flowing at 6 miles per hour. At what angle to the line on which he is heading does he drift downstream? 60° 30° 40° 50°

He rows at 5 mph

The current flows at 6mph

This forms a right triangle with height 5 and base of 6

The angle is found using tangent.

Tan(angle) = 5/6

Angle = arc tan(5/6)

Angle = 39.81 degrees

Rounded to the nearest whole degree = 40

The answer would be 40 degrees

x+y = 29, 5x + 2y = 100
