A boat is crossing the river as shown. To the nearest tenth of a degree, find the angle at which the boat must head upriver in order to travel directly across the river. The diagram is not drawn to scale. I know the answer is 19.7 but is it north or south of west?http://assets.openstudy.com/updates/attachments/55b2eeb3e4b071e6530e09d9-lollygirl217-1437790422386-as.jpg
